Premier India fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar pipped Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan and Zimbabwe’s Sean Williams to clinch the ICC Player of the Month Award for March. Bhuvneshwar, who made a comeback into international cricket after recovering from injury, led the Indian bowling attack in the limited-overs series against England. He claimed six wickets at an economy rate of 4.65 in the three ODIs.

While, in T20Is, he troubled the English batsmen with his swinging deliveries, as a result, the 31-year-old picked four wickets at a fantastic economy rate of 6.38 in the five T20Is.

Bhuvneshwar became the third successive Indian recipient of the award since its inception early this year. The January honours were claimed by dashing wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant for his exploits in Australia, while veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin won it for the month of February following a stupendous all-round show in the home Test series against England.
