According to Kohli, Bhuvneshwar\u2019s success is not built on magic deliveries or extravagant swing, but on repeatedly executing one difficult length and daring batters to challenge him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhat is Bhuvi doing? He is not bowling banana inswingers, banana outswingers. He is bowling at a length that tells the guys that I am good enough to hit the length every time. It is the most difficult length to hit, and I am just gonna keep hitting those lengths. Are you good enough to take me on or not?\u201d Kohli said on RCB\u2019s podcast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
At 36, Bhuvneshwar has turned back the clock in spectacular fashion. With 22 wickets already this season, the RCB pacer currently leads the wicket-taking charts and has become one of the biggest reasons behind Bengaluru\u2019s rise to the top of the IPL 2026 points table.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kohli explained that Bhuvneshwar\u2019s performances are a result of repetition, execution, and unwavering consistency rather than flashy variations. According to the former RCB captain, the veteran pacer has mastered the art of bowling difficult Test-match lengths in T20 cricket, something that continues to trouble even the most aggressive batters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s simple stuff. It\u2019s repetition, it\u2019s execution, uncomplicated consistency backed with tremendous belief. That\u2019s all he is doing. Look at the results. He has six three-wicket hauls in 11 matches. That\u2019s crazy,\u201d Kohli added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The batting great also stressed the importance of a technical foundation in helping players survive difficult phases in their careers. Kohli said players with strong basics always find ways to adapt and bounce back, and Bhuvneshwar is a perfect example of that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bhuvneshwar\u2019s outstanding form has played a major role in RCB\u2019s impressive IPL 2026 campaign. Bengaluru currently sits at the top of the points table with 16 points from 12 matches and are on the verge of sealing a playoff berth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
