Bhuvneshwar made an early return to the team as he was added to the team for the fifth T20I against West Indies. He was also part of the playing XI but didn't get to bowl due to rain washing out the fixture. Bhuvneshwar will be playing his seconmd game since his return at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Rohit Sharma sent a heartfelt message to Bhuvneshwar before the start of the NZ series.
