Bhuvneshwar showcased exceptional bowling, taking 3 wickets for 41 runs in his 4-over spell. With his first wicket in the match, he reached the significant milestone of 200 wickets in the IPL, becoming only the second bowler to achieve this feat. Over his IPL career, Bhuvneshwar has taken 202 wickets in 192 matches, maintaining an economy rate of 7.71. Notably, he is the first fast bowler to reach 200 wickets in the IPL.

The IPL has been a significant part of my career, and reaching 200 wickets is undoubtedly a special milestone. What makes it even more meaningful is that my IPL journey actually began with RCB, so achieving this milestone here feels like completing a full circle.”
Discussing his bowling approach in this format, Bhuvneshwar noted, “Achievements like this are always the result of the hard work you put in daily over the years. The game is becoming increasingly challenging, especially for bowlers. It’s no longer just about skill; it’s also about adapting to conditions and finding new ways to challenge batsmen, whether through variations in bowling or different field placements. We often say it’s a batsman’s game, but I believe bowlers are also doing a great job of making things difficult for them.”
