This article covers all details of Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s IPL stats and records against PBKS (Punjab Kings) ahead of the match of Final, RCB vs PBKS match 74th in IPL 2025 On 3rd June starting at 7:30PM.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been a consistent performer for his team, whether he has played for Team India or in the Indian Premier League. He is one of the highest wicket-takers in the IPL as an Indian pacer and is known as a bankable bowler in the shorter format because of his ability to bowl at any phase of the match.
He swings the ball to take early wickets and then bowls at death with his Yorkers and changeups. All these skills make him a complete T20 bowler, which is very good for any team. However, Bhuvi hasn’t gotten going in the ongoing season of the IPL.
The veteran pacer has 15 wicket in 13 games at an economy rate of 9.27. He has bowled some good spells, which has turned the course of the game in RCB’s favour, but he has yet to achieve his best, and we all know what he can do when he is on song.
Bhuvneshwar will be back with the ball in hand on Tuesday. RCB is all set to take on Punjab Kings in Final match no. 71 of the IPL 2025 which will take place at Narendra Modi Stadium. If he can take some early wickets, he can put his team upfront. However, he has good numbers against PBKS and that’s what we will check out here in this article.
