Indian batters are under heavy criticism as they are tumbling like dominos in the ongoing series against Australia. After a solid show in the first Test, the top order faltered in the Adelaide Test and are now putting on a horror show at the Gabba.

Veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are under the scanner as they have failed when it mattered the most, particularly the skipper. Even youngsters like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill have failed in the last three innings and are facing the wrath of Indian fans. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar Records Better Average Than Rohit Sharma In SENA Countries

Amid the chaos in the batting unit, a shocking stat has come up, which has put the top order in shame. It is worth noting that Bhuvneshwar Kumar has a better batting average in SENA - (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) countries than Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Notably, Bhuvi has played 16 innings in SENA countries and has averaged 30 with 398 runs.
