  "account": "In the second ODI of India's series against the West Indies, the team struggled to prevent the opposition from amassing over 400 runs at Guwahati. Indian cricketer Hanuma Vihari opined that Bhuvneshwar Kumar should be recalled to bolster the bowling lineup. Vihari expressed his belief that the seasoned pacer remains one of the finest bowlers in the country, and his experience would offer reassurance in light of recent injuries to Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Bhuvneshwar confirmed his willingness to return to represent India, indicating that he no longer dwells on past uncertainties. Vihari emphasized that the Indian team cannot rely solely on inexperienced bowlers, suggesting that bringing both Bhuvneshwar and Shami back into the squad would provide vital stability and bolster their chances of success.",
