In a high-stakes clash between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede Stadium in Match 20 of IPL 2025, Bhuvneshwar Kumar etched his name deeper into the IPL history books. The experienced pacer claimed the vital wicket of Tilak Varma to surpass R Ashwin and move to third on the all-time wicket-takers list in the Indian Premier League.<\/p>\n

Tilak Varma, who was anchoring MI\u2019s chase with a fiery 56 off 29 balls, fell to a slower ball wide outside off-stump. Attempting a cut, he mistimed the shot to sweeper cover where Phil Salt made no mistake. This wicket was Bhuvneshwar\u2019s 184th in IPL cricket, overtaking Ashwin (183 wickets), and trailing only behind Piyush Chawla and Yuzvendra Chahal.<\/p>\n
