Veteran Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar continues to be a reliable force with the ball in the Indian Premier League. Now playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL 2025, Bhuvi brings a wealth of experience and has slotted into the team as a leader of the bowling attack. Known for his swing in the powerplay and control at the death, he has consistently delivered impactful spells throughout his IPL career.
In the ongoing IPL 2025 season, Bhuvneshwar has featured in 8 matches, picking up 9 wickets with a best of 2/26, maintaining an economy rate of 8.37. Though he hasn’t produced a big spell yet, his average of 27.89 and strike rate of 20.00 show his continued value in breaking partnerships and keeping pressure on batters.
RCB will rely heavily on his experience as they face Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Bhuvi has played numerous matches against DC over the years and knows their lineup well. A strong performance from him with the new ball could tilt the momentum in RCB’s favor in this crucial mid-season clash.
