'Captain's dream. Bumrah only ahead ': Bhuvneshwar Kumar's master class in Chinnaswamy wins fans despite RCB's loss

April 3, 2025 12:31 PM ist Bhuvneshwar Kumar was one of the rare positive for RCB during their disappointing defeat to Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 Wednesday. At a night when the royal challengers crumbled Bengaluru’s bowling attack, veteran -paced Bhuvneshwar Kumar stood long and made a brilliant play that won him admiration on social media. While Gujarat Titans overturned the 170-run target with 13 balls, Bhuvneshwar’s 1/23 four-over-game came out as the only bright place in the bowling attack of the team in an otherwise forgettable night for the hosts. Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Virat Kohli and Bhuvneshwar Kumar celebrate the wicket of Gujarat Titans’ captain Shubman Gill (Surjeet Yadav) fans to shed the praise on the experienced seam, which is his ability to maintain control, even as the rest of the RCB’s bowling unit, RCB’s bowling unit made. With the M Chinnaswamy Stadium’s small borders and dew complicating life for bowlers, Bhuvneshwar’s economy of 5.80 was nothing less than extraordinary. His dismissal of GT captain Shubman Gill, who was caught at Backward Point, gave RCB a glitter of hope early. However, a dominant 75 -run partnership between Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler quickly chased any chances on a fight back. Despite Bhuvneshwar’s efforts, Bengaluru did not have penetration from the other side, which could have Gujarat kissed an eight -wicket victory. Here’s how fans responded to Bhuvneshwar’s performance: Bhuvneshwar was bought at the IPL 2025 auction by RCB for INR 10.75 crore. He was released by Sunrisers Hyderabad after 11 years with the franchise, during which he also lifted the title in 2016. He dominated the IPL’s bowling cards during his time with the Sunrisers, and won a back-to-back press in 2016 and 2017, and was instrumental in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Maiden title Triumph; He selected 23 wickets in 17 games in the title-win season. Bhuvneshwar added a record trip for Bhuvneshwar. With 183 wickets in 178 games, he equated Dwayne Bravo’s score and became the joint highest wicketkeeper under Pacers in the history of the league. Only spinners Yuzvendra Chahal (206) and Piyush Chawla (192) took more IPL wickets than the Indian Pacer.
