Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Legendary India leg-spinner Anil Kumble said veteran Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fast-bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar had the perfect answer in hand to outsmart Delhi Capitals (DC) batters during the side’s six-wicket win to go on top of IPL 2025 points table.
At the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, Bhuvneshwar leaked 25 runs in his first two overs, but used his slower balls to good effect for picking three wickets – of KL Rahul, Ashutosh Sharma and Tristan Stubbs - while conceding eight runs in his final two overs and take 3-33 in his four overs.
"He's always been very special as a bowler. 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.
