Bhuvaneshwar Kumar shared memories about a cricket bat from his childhood, for which all his friends have contributed money. He said:

“We (friends) all contributed to purchase this bat. Each one of us used to carry the bat home for 1-2 days. This picture was taken in my school uniform. I was so excited that I came home from school and picked up the bat straightaway.”

They’ll all tell you about how helpful he is’: Bhuvneshwar Kumar on MS Dhoni

While speaking about an emotional post that he shared on MS Dhoni’s retirement, Bhuvaneshwar said, “I think I posted that on his retirement. Everyone knows what kind of a player he is. But I posted to explain what kind of human being he is. He always helps others. If you speak to anybody about Dhoni, they will all tell you about how helpful he is. He always gives guidance to all the youngsters”.
