IPL 2026: The Way Bhuvneshwar Manoeuvres His 'highly Repeatable Action' Is Masterful, Says Irfan Pathan
Indian Premier League: Former India bowling all-rounder Irfan Pathan has lauded veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s "masterful control" of his wrist position and "repeatable action" for maintaining his technical standards over an Indian Premier League (IPL) career spanning 16 years. Bhuvneshwar has been a standout performer for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
The swing king is currently leading the purple cap chart with 21 scalps in 11 games in the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
"Bhuvneshwar has an amazing and highly repeatable action. He has had a 16-year-long IPL career and hasn't changed his action one bit. When you have the same action for such a long period, you can hit the areas you want to target. At the same time, his wrist position and the way he manoeuvres it is masterful, with very little change in seam position, whether he is bowling the inswinger or moving it away, and all of it with so much control," Pathan said on JioStar.
