Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar was roped in for a price of INR 10.75 crores in the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been amongst the most underestimated bowlers in the modern day era. The latter who was once leading the Indian pace attack and was known for his swing and seam, has certainly got out of picture for the selectors. There has also been a certain dip in his form while playing in the Indian Premier League for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, the Indian pacer once again proved how important can he become for the bowling attack during the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction.

Bowling has always been a major weak point for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League. The franchise released Mohammed Siraj, who was the lead pacer for the franchise in the previous editions of the tournament. As they have roped in Bhuvneshwar Kumar, it may provide more stability to their bowling attack. Bhuvneshwar has the capability to swing the ball both ways in the early stages of the game whereas he can also bowl brilliant yorkers in the death. The latter won the purple cap in IPL 2016 and 2017 for SRH, which certainly proves his worth.
