Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has emerged as a candidate for a national team recall following his important role in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) back-to-back Indian Premier League (IPL) title victories. The 36-year-old seamer, who last played for India in 2022, has expressed a desire to represent the country once again.

Bhuvneshwar played a key role in RCB's recent IPL dominance, taking 17 wickets during their 2025 campaign while bowling effectively across all phases of the innings.
