'Tried for 15 years to stop': Aaron Finch names one Indian bowler he always failed against

In cricket, there have been multiple cases when a batsman has scored and dominated against most of the teams but could not have a say against that one bowler. To put this into perspective, Zaheer Khan always had the number of South Africa's Graeme Smith, while Ricky Ponting was the favorite victim of Ishant Sharma. Similarly, former Australia captain Aaron Finch was always troubled by one Indian bowler. Finch recently addressed his struggle against the seamer.

Aaron Finch admits about his struggle against Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Aaron Finch, who is now enjoying life after cricket, was evidently made to read a difficult chapter of his past. A user on the social media platform "X" recently asked the right-hander about the difficulties he faced in facing Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Finch admitted his struggle against the skillful Indian bowler and made it known that he tried everything he could in 15 years, yet the bowler always carried the edge.

It should be noted that Kumar took the prized wicket of Aaron Finch a total of 7 times in his career. To break it down, Bhuvi removed Finch 4 times in ODIs, twice in T20s, and once in the IPL. However, the statistic may not augment as Finch has bid adieu to international cricket and his participation in IPL is obscure.
