Bhuvneshwar Kumar left his unique "weapon" to free Babar Azam during the India vs. Pakistan match.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was a crucial part of India's victory against Pakistan in the Asia Cup opener, thinks that strategizing effectively for each opponent is just as vital as competing well on the field. Bhuvneshwar was crucial to India's five-wicket victory over Pakistan. He claimed four wickets, including that of the captain of the opposing squad, Babar Azam. In his second over, the 32-year-old fast bowler captured Arsdeep Singh trying to bridge at short fine leg after shocking the Pakistani captain with a bouncer.

In the post-game news conference, Bhuvneshwar stated that a player should have a strategy in place before the game because T20 is a very dynamic format. The bounce was excessive and the wicket did not aid in swinging. So, we devised a plan. We were aware of the batsmen's areas of strength, and after bowling a few more balls, we improved our strategy. The quick bowler remarked, "I think thinking about the game is as vital as your skill.

Short-pitched balls from the Indian squad hampered the Pakistani batsmen, and they eventually knocked out the opposition for 147 runs. Babar Azam's dismissal, according to Bhuvneshwar, impacted the Pakistani team's strategy because they depend on him to complete the inning. After Babar's firing, he claimed, we did not believe that half of Pakistan's team had been fired. Although he is a good player, there were still nine other batsmen available.
As a team, Bhuvneshwar remarked, "We don't consider that if the best batsman is out, half the team is out. However, as soon as Babar was dismissed, we were aware that his plans would be jeopardised because the batter who was maintaining the innings was gone. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has gotten back into shape after healing from his injuries. The quick bowler claimed that nothing has changed about his bowling.
