Fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar made his return from injury and played for India in the recently concluded limited-overs series against England. Bhuvneshwar's good fitness and impactful performance for India are also positive signs for his IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
SRH captain David Warner is happy to see the pacer back to the side. Bhuvneshwar had featured in only four matches for SRH last season before suffering a hip injury.
"Our team is pretty balanced and there are going to be some selection headaches which is always good," Warner said in a video posted by SRH on Twitter after completing quarantine.
"It is great that Bhuvi is back. He has had a fantastic series against England. We have a lot of depth in bowling and firepower in batting."

Sunrisers are going to face Kolkata Knight Riders in their first match on Sunday (April 11). They are going to play on slow tracks of Chennai and Delhi for the first half of the IPL. Warner is aware of it and he has worked on his tactics accordingly.
"We are playing in Chennai in Delhi in our first 8 or 9 games. The wickets there ill be tad slow which will suit our style of play," he said.
It's not easy to stay in quarantine for seven days but Warner managed to keep himself mentally and physically fit in this period. "They gave me a big enough room and I did a little bit of running inside it," added the SRH skipper.
Bhuvneshwar is also looking forward to playing the entire IPL this time. Last season, SRH managed to reach the top four but lost in Qualifier 2.
"It's good to be out of quarantine. Feels that the last IPL was just a few days back. I am not thinking of any new things but will just focus on the simple things and use my experience and bowl my variations, like that," he said.
"I was not there for almost the whole IPL last year and looking forward to play the whole season this time and hopefully contribute for the team."
