Bhuvneshwar Kumar achieved the feat after he removed Delhi opener Yash Dhull for six in his second over of the game

Bhuvneshwar achieved the feat after he removed Delhi opener Yash Dhull for six in his second over. In what was his first competitive game after Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, the premier pacer oozed his with the ball and delivered another magical spell.

Bhuvneshwar, who completed 300 wickets in the T20, only has spinners Yuzvendra Chahal (354), Piyush Chawla (314) and R Ashwin (310) wickets ahead of him in the T20 format among Indians. He has been one of the best pacers in T20 cricket and has been an incredible servant for the India National Cricket Team as well.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar played for the India National Cricket Team in T20Is between 2012 and 2022

Bhuvneshwar played for the India National Cricket Team in T20Is between 2012 and 2022. He has 90 wickets for the team in the format with his last game coming in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022 against the England National Cricket Team in Australia.

Bhuvneshwar made his T20 debut in a Champions League T20 game in 2009 for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. He went wicketless in his maiden outing, conceding 31 runs in four overs against Delhi Daredevils.

But after that, he made a massive impact in the T20s. He is also one of the most successful bowlers in the history of the Indian Premier League. The premier pacer is the highest wicket-taker in the league among fast bowlers. In the 176 games, he has racked up 181 wickets.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar wasn’t retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of IPL 2025 auction

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was part of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024, wasn’t retained by the franchise. He was part of the team for 10 years in the league and will be going under the hammer in the IPL auction 2025, which will be taking place on 24th and 25th November in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who holds the record of the first India pacer to record five-wicket hauls in all three formats, has set himself the base price of INR 2 crore in the auction. With the kind of impact that he has made in the league, it’s fair to say that he is likely to get a whopping amount of money for the next edition of the league.
