New Delhi: Baseline Ventures on Monday announced the signing of Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar as he joins an illustrious list of sports personalities managed by the company.
In the recently concluded World Cup held in England and Wales, Bhuveshwar returned with figures of 10 wickets from six matches at an economy of 5.20.
