IPL 2025: 3 Masterstrokes that helped RCB qualify for playoffs
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have had one of their best seasons in the 2025 edition so far.
1. Backing the experience of Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood in crucial overs
While batting has not been much of a major issue for RCB before, the same could not have been said about the bowling department. There were seasons where the major reason behind RCB’s struggles was their bowling, which failed to close out games. However, this season has seen a major change as the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have used all their experience to not only take crucial wickets in the powerplay but also contain the batters at the death.
Speaking of Josh Hazlewood, he has been the highest wicket-taker for the franchise taking 18 wickets at an average of 17.27 and has an economy of 8.44. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has also made useful contributions taking 12 wickets at an average of 28.25 and has an economy of 8.92.
