Kumar made his first-class debut at the age of 17 against Bengal.[5] In the 2008/09 season, he became the first bowler to dismiss Sachin Tendulkar for a duck in first-class cricket.[6] After good performances in that season, he was handed an IPL contract by Royal Challengers Bangalore.[7] He has also represented Central Zone in Duleep Trophy and Deodhar Trophy.[8][9]

Apart from being a good swing bowler, Kumar is also known for his lower middle-order batting, which makes him a useful all-rounder.

International career

After Awana's poor showing in the two T20Is against England, Kumar was selected in the playing eleven of the first T20 day/night match against Pakistan at Bengaluru. He took 3 wickets for 9 runs in 4 overs in the match. He holds the record for the best bowling figures on T20I debut. He took the wickets of Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal.

Bhuvneshwar's debut wickets in T20Is, ODIs and Tests have all been bowled. He is the first ever bowler to do so.

Bhuvneshwar made his debut on 22 Feb 2013 against Australia during 1st test of Australia Tour to India in 2013. He was given the test cap by Ishant Sharma.

He went wicket-less on his debut. In his second test match he got three wickets making Australia's David Warner, Ed Cowan and Shane Watson out. He also took the catch of Matt Wade. In the first innings of his second test against the AussiesAustralian Cricket Team, Bhuvneshwar was wicketless mainly because he could not get the ball to swing and was given very few overs.
