The former Indian all-rounder feels the Men in Blue still do not have a settled fast-bowling attack for the ICC ODI World Cup 2027, which will be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia next year. And that’s where Ashwin feels India needs Bhuvneshwar in ODI cricket.
The former Indian all-rounder also compared Bhuvneshwar with Mohammed Shami and said the biggest difference at the moment is fitness, with the RCB seamer managing to play continuously while also making a huge contribution to RCB's back-to-back IPL title wins.
Ravichandran Ashwin demands India chance for Bhuvneshwar Kumar after RCB heroics
The cricket pundit has pointed to Bhuvneshwar's excellent performances for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) over the last two IPL seasons. He took 45 wickets in 30 matches at an average of 21.87 and an economy rate of 8.56 and played a key role in RCB's back-to-back IPL title wins.
I am not saying to take him straightaway, but at least give him a chance and then decide. He can swing the ball, give you overs at the death, and bat a bit as well. He has a lot of batting ability.” Earlier, Kris Srikkanth called Gautam Gambhir "fool" after Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's record-breaking fifty in Zimbabwe.
Along with Jasprit Bumrah and Harshit Rana, Ashwin believes that Bhuvneshwar can add valuable balance to the bowling unit. The former Indian spinner also said that with only around a year left before the 2027 ICC World Cup, this is not the right time to keep testing new fast bowlers.

Ashwin signed off by saying, “It is not the time to develop players now with 12 months to go. You gave Harshit an opportunity, and it is important to know his status now as he bats at eight. Gurnoor and Prasidh got opportunities.
But you cannot remove them and bring more bowlers now. It is important to identify who your four or five pacers are, out of which you will take three for the World Cup. That is why you must have someone like Bhuvneshwar Kumar in discussions as well.”
