==International career==
 
[[File:Bhuvneshwar Kumar.jpg|thumb|Kumar bowling in 2013]]
===Test debut===
In his debut [[Test cricket|Test]] series, he took 6 wickets in four matches against [[Australian Cricket Team|Australia]] in the [[Australian cricket team in India in 2012–13|2013 Border-Gavaskar Trophy]]. He also had a record partnership with [[M. S. Dhoni]] for the 9th wicket in the first Test of the series. He has the highest score by an Indian number 10 on debut, 38.
 
Kumar made his debut on 22 February 2013 against Australia during [[Australian cricket team in India in 2012–13#1st Test|1st test of Australia Tour to India in 2013]]. He was given the test cap by [[Ishant Sharma]]. He struggled to take any wickets in the first innings, mainly because it was more of a spin track rather than a swing and pace favourable pitch. Later, in the same test during India's batting, he helped set up a massive partnership of 140 runs for the 9th wicket with M. S. Dhoni. This partnership helped India establish a lead of 192 runs. During this course, he was part of a few records and was given a standing ovation by the team and the crowd once he got out with a score of 38 runs (off 97 balls). When India went on to field in the second innings he didn't get a chance to bowl and went wicketless on his debut. In his second test match, he got three wickets getting Australia's David Warner, Ed Cowan and Shane Watson out. In the first innings of his second test against Australia, Kumar went wicketless, mainly because he could not get the ball to swing and was given very few overs (6 in a spell and then a single over). But in the second innings, he took the important wickets of [[Shane Watson]], [[David Warner (cricketer)|David Warner]] and [[Steve Smith (cricketer)|Steve Smith]] claiming 6 wickets at an [[Bowling average|average]] of 22.83 and an economy rate of 3.91.
 
===Champions Trophy and Tri-Series===
 
Kumar was a part of the team which  won the [[2013 ICC Champions Trophy|2013 Champions Trophy]].<ref>{{cite news |title= Team of the tournament |url= http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-champions-trophy-2013/content/story/644927.html |work= ESPNcricinfo |date= 24 June 2013 |access-date= 17 July 2013}}</ref> He was also named as part of the 'Team of the Tournament' by the ICC and Cricinfo.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/178241|title=ICC announces Team of the Tournament|website=www.icc-cricket.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-champions-trophy-2013/content/story/644927.html|title=Team of the tournament|date=24 June 2013|website=Cricinfo}}</ref>
 
On 9 July 2013, he posted career-best figures on 4–8 against Sri Lanka in the [[West Indies Triangular Series in 2013|Tri-Nation tournament]], which India would go on to win. He was awarded the "Man of the Series" in this tournament after he finished the series with most wickets.<ref>{{cite news |title= Bhuvneshwar Kumar becomes Man of the Series for Celkon Cup tri-series |url= http://www.cricschedule.com/news/235-.html |publisher= Cricschedule |date= 13 July 2013 |access-date= 17 July 2013}}</ref>
 
===Tour of England===
 
Kumar proved that he could be handy with the bat in Test matches when he scored 2 consecutive half-centuries in the 1st test of the Investec Test Series 2014 against England with scores of 58 and 63*. He also had his 1st five-wicket haul in his test career in the first innings of the same match. Kumar had his second five-wicket haul in the next match of the same series and got his third fifty in Test in the same match. He became the first Indian number 9 player to get three fifties in one series, even going on to add career-best bowling figures of 6/82 versus England at Lord's. Despite India losing the series 1–3, he was named the Indian Player of the Series.<ref>{{cite news|title=Lord's test Bhuvneshwar and Murali Vijay made new records|url=http://www.patrika.com/news/lords-test-bhuvneshwar-and-murali-vijay-made-new-records/1019036|access-date=22 July 2014|work=Patrika Group|date=21 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140728014758/http://www.patrika.com/news/lords-test-bhuvneshwar-and-murali-vijay-made-new-records/1019036|archive-date=28 July 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
 
=== Rise in form and success ===
Kumar was expected to start in all matches for the [[2015 Cricket World Cup|2015 ICC Cricket World Cup]] but could not due to poor fitness. He started only one match against [[United Arab Emirates national cricket team|UAE]]. His 2016 season was restricted to only four tests.
 
In the [[2017 ICC Champions Trophy]], he led the Indian bowling attack alongside [[Jasprit Bumrah]] and reached the [[2017 ICC Champions Trophy Final|finals]] with the team. He was also included in the [[2017 ICC Champions Trophy#Team of the Tournament|Team of the Tournament]] of the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy.
