Role: Right-Handed Batter | Wicketkeeper
Meet Bhavsar, proudly wearing jersey number 17, is the youngest pillar in the Kuwait national cricket team. Born and raised in Kuwait to Indian-origin parents, Bhavsar is a product of the cricketing diaspora—a young man whose discipline, finesse, and intelligence have made him one of Kuwait's most reliable performers with both the bat and gloves.
Bhavsar first caught attention at the youth level with his quiet determination and technical fluency. He was a standout in Kuwait's junior circuits and soon transitioned to the senior national side, making his T20I debut on January 20, 2019, against the Maldives. At just 18, he showed the poise of a veteran, keeping wickets and anchoring the middle order during high-pressure games. His maturity was evident from the outset.
As a wicketkeeper, Bhavsar is known for his quick glovework, sharp reflexes, and calm communication behind the stumps. In over 35 T20 Internationals, he has recorded 20+ dismissals, including lightning-fast stumpings and diving catches that have turned matches around. His reliability allows Kuwait’s spinners like Mohammed Aslam and Yasin Patel to bowl with confidence, knowing that any faint edge or misjudged step forward will be capitalized on.
With the bat, Meet is not a flashy stroke-maker but a composed and intelligent batter who builds innings. Primarily batting in the middle order, he has often been Kuwait's insurance policy during batting collapses. He has scored over 500 T20I runs, with multiple crucial knocks that have helped stabilize the team in regional tournaments. His unbeaten 42* against Qatar in a tense qualifier match showcased not just his talent but his temperament—absorbing pressure, rotating strike, and taking calculated risks at just the right time.
What truly sets Bhavsar apart is his temperament. He doesn't let emotion cloud his performance. Whether Kuwait is defending a modest total or chasing a steep one, Meet remains unfazed. This level-headedness has made him a favorite of the coaching staff, who often describe him as "the quiet engine" of the team—steady, dependable, and always in control.
Off the field, Meet Bhavsar is known for his humility and willingness to learn. He often trains alongside younger players in Kuwait's domestic circuit, sharing tips and supporting the next generation. Fluent in English, Hindi, and Arabic, he plays a key role in uniting the multicultural squad, often serving as a bridge between players of diverse backgrounds.
As Kuwait continues its journey through regional qualifiers and international exposure, Bhavsar's role is set to grow. Still just in his mid-20s, he has years ahead of him—and with each match, he becomes more polished, more confident, and more vital to Kuwait’s future.
Wearing jersey number 7, Meet Bhavsar is not just a cricketer—he’s Kuwait’s calm in the storm, a dependable gloveman, and a foundation on which the nation’s cricketing dreams are quietly being built.
