Bhuvaneshwar Kumar of the Sunrisers Hyderabad becomes the only pacer in the history of the IPL to deliver 1297 doll balls, more than any other pacer.
At both ends of an innings, SRH’s go-to bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has done it everything in the IPL, from scooping up early wickets to suffocating the opposition in the late overs. His ascension into the cash-rich league, though, was not as straightforward.
He was one of the first players in the IPL to make extensive use of the knuckle ball, and his arsenal of variations helped him win the Purple Cap for two years in a row.
In 2016, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was one of the heroes of SRH’s lone IPL title run, claiming 23 wickets. He then went on to take 26 wickets in 2017. Injuries have plagued his performances in the IPL, as they have in international cricket, since then. He has 142 wickets in 132 IPL appearances, including two four-wicket hauls and a five-wicket haul.
