Bhuvneshwar Kumar has played 21 Test matches for India since he debuted in 2013 and last played in a Test match at Johannesburg in 2018 January against South Africa. In that match, Kumar claimed four wickets. Although Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a regular player in limited-overs, he has not appeared in the longest format again. In this meantime, Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Shami become the preferred players in Test matches. Hence Kumar accepted that getting a place in the India Test team would be tough but he has not lost any hope to come back in Test cricket.
