Shivang Kumar is an Indian cricketer who bowls slow left-arm orthodox. A left-arm spinner, he operates in the lower-middle order as a right-hand batter.
Kumar has appeared in ODI cricket, where he has accumulated 53 runs across his appearances. His primary value to any side rests on his bowling, where he brings the orthodox left-arm spinner's stock skill set - the ability to turn the ball away from right-handers and drift it in from over the wicket.
The slow left-arm orthodox role demands patience and control. Success in the format requires reading conditions, varying pace and trajectory, and building pressure through dot balls. Kumar's limited batting aggregate reflects the typical profile of a specialist bowler in international cricket, where tail-enders are selected primarily for their bowling contributions rather than run-scoring.
His career in ODI cricket remains relatively early in its trajectory, with opportunity to add to both his bowling and batting records in future fixtures.
