Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar faced intense criticism on social media after his comeback series against New Zealand concluded on a disappointing note. The pacer, returning to the national side after a period out of the team, struggled to make an impact, prompting fans to call for his retirement.

The series, which marked Kumar's return to international cricket, saw him fail to replicate his earlier form. Supporters expressed frustration online, with many suggesting the bowler should consider ending his career.

Kumar has been a key figure in India's pace attack for over a decade, known for his swing bowling. However, recent performances have raised questions about his future in the squad.
