Whichever team he has played for, he picks up wickets in the powerplay, he's learnt the tricks and the trade of what needs to be done in the back end, and he's very consistent. Barely a game where the batters get under him and then put him under pressure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"On a surface like this, he bowled the perfect second spell. The crucial wicket of KL Rahul. KL Rahul, the idea was probably to take it deep and then target the faster bowlers and target the last three or four overs, maximise those four overs. And Bhuvi had the perfect answer,\" said Kumble on ESPNCricinfo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bhuvneshwar, who last played for India in 2022, has 12 wickets from nine games in IPL 2025 at an economy rate of 8.35. Wasim Jaffer, the former India batter, further talked about what makes a veteran like Bhuvneshwar stay relevant in the competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I think the two or three variations that he has\u2026 the yorker is absolutely spot on; the way Bhuvi bowls he hardly gives any width; and he uses that hard-length delivery which surprises the batters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bhuvneshwar, who last played for India in 2022, has 12 wickets from nine games in IPL 2025 at an economy rate of 8.35.
