Aaron Finch vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar Head to Head in T20 record
Finch’s struggles against inswingers are in front of everyone, and especially in the initial overs, he struggles against the ball coming in. Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is famous for his in-swingers, and India will definitely unleash him in the opening over against the Australian captain.
If we look at the T20 Head to Head record, it proves that Bhuvneshwar has troubled Finch in the T20 format. Finch has scored 52 runs in 57 balls against Bhuvneshwar at a nominal strike-rate of 91.22. Kumar has been able to dismiss Finch three times in the process.
The kind of form in which Finch is in right now, the battle between him against Bhuvneshwar will again be an interesting battle to watch out for.
