RCB Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar One Wicket Away From 200-wicket Milestone In IPL
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is on the verge of creating history when the defending champions take on Chennai Super Kings on Sunday here at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The right-arm medium pacer, who has 199 wickets in 191 IPL matches, is set to become the second player to reach the 200-wicket milestone. Moreover, he will become the first fast bowler to achieve this feat.
Only Yuzvendra Chahal has crossed the 200-wicket mark in the tournament, with 224 wickets in 176 matches. The leg-spinner, who went past Dwayne Bravo as the highest wicket-taker in IPL history in the 2023 season, got to the milestone in 2024 during his 153rd match.
Bhuvneshwar was handed a contract by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2009 but went two seasons without playing a game in the tournament. After another three unremarkable seasons with Pune Warriors, he was signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2014 and quickly rose through the ranks to become the lynchpin of their powerplay and death bowling.

World Test Championship Final: Former Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy believes Scott Boland has leapfrogged Josh Hazlewood in the Test fast-bowling pecking order, ranking just behind Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc. While Hazlewood has long been considered part of Australia’s elite pace trio, Boland’s outstanding performances against India in the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy have, in Healy’s eyes, earned him the No. 3 seamer spot in the Test team.
