Tension Looms Over RCB-Management
Josh Hazlewood was also a part of the IPL 2025 mega auction this time, with a base price of Rs 2 crore. RCB-management expressed confidence in the fast bowler in the mega auction and acquired him for a whopping amount Rs 12.50 crore.
This time Hazlewood has been the most expensive player of RCB in the mega auction. In such a scenario, if Hazlewood’s injury is more serious and he has to undergo surgery, then this player may stay away from the cricket field for a long time. Which can be a big setback for RCB in the upcoming season.
CSK Faced The Same Issue
This has been seen multiple times in IPL before, when players got injured and were out even before the season started. This was also seen with Ben Stokes, whom Chennai Super Kings (CSK) included in their team by spending Rs 16 crore, but Stokes was out of the entire season. In such a situation, RCB fans would like Josh Hazlewood to get fit quickly and return to the field.
