Bhuvneshwar Kumar is now the new 'Emperor' of the IPL and sets a big record
IPL Updates: Bhuvneshwar Kumar made history by becoming the joint-highest wicket-taker among pace bowlers in the IPL during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's match against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, also called "Bhuvi," has made a name for himself as one of the most reliable and skilled bowlers in the Indian Premier League (IPL). His ability to swing the ball, especially when it's new, makes him a tough challenge for any batting team.
RCB is playing against the Gujarat Titans on April 2nd in IPL 2025. Bhuvneshwar Kumar had an impressive performance in this match. He took the first wicket for GT and made history. Bhuvi has now matched Dwayne Bravo as the top fast bowler for most wickets in IPL history.
Bhuvi created history
Bhuvi bowled excellently in the game against Gujarat, taking the key wicket of Shubman Gill early on. Bhuvneshwar Kumar now shares the record for the most wickets by a fast bowler in IPL history, with a total of 183 wickets, matching Dwayne Bravo. He didn’t play in the first match of IPL 2025, but he had a great season with Sunrisers Hyderabad last year. Bhuvi continues to perform well in the IPL, yet he still hasn't been given a chance in the Indian team.
RCB scored 169 runs
In this match, RCB batted first and scored 169 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. The opening players, Virat Kohli and Philip Salt, didn’t perform well; Salt managed 14 runs in 13 balls, while Kohli also scored 7 runs. Devdutt Padikkal added just 4 runs, and captain Rajat Patidar scored 12 runs off 12 balls. Liam Livingstone helped boost the score with his 54 runs in 40 balls. Additionally, Jitesh Sharma contributed 33 runs in 21 balls, and Tim David added 32 runs in 18 balls, helping RCB reach a decent total.
Past Experiences with SRH: A Pillar of Strength
Bhuvneshwar has shown great loyalty and performance during his time with SRH. He has played a key role in the team's success, helping them win the title in 2016 and making regular appearances in the playoffs. His experience and leadership have been essential, especially in helping younger players grow.
However, like all athletes, Bhuvneshwar has faced some challenges. Injuries have affected his career at times, making it hard for him to be consistent. Still, his ability to recover and bounce back has been impressive.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar's impact in the IPL is clear. He has been a key player for SRH, regularly achieving match-winning performances. His experience, skill, and ability in the powerplay make him a likely candidate for a return to the national team. In the end, the selectors will need to balance his experience and current form with the team's needs. No matter what happens with the national team, his contributions to the IPL have made him a legend of the tournament.
