Bhuvneshwar Kumar once again proved why experience still matters as he ripped through Lucknow Super Giants with a spell of 3 for 27, including a double strike and a golden duck for Mohammed Shami. Royal Challengers Bengaluru bundled LSG out for 146 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, a total that never looked enough after his burst.<\/p>\n
\u201cAging like fine wine\u201d \u2014 Bhuvneshwar steals the show after fiery spell<\/strong><\/p>\n But it was Bhuvneshwar off the field that stood out as much as his bowling. When asked about his form, he said he is \u201caging like a fine wine\u201d, adding with a laugh that time off between IPL seasons helps him return stronger and fitter. It was a calm, simple remark, but one that summed up his longevity in the league.<\/p>\n He also admitted a small limitation, saying his hand is \u201cgood enough to bowl but not good enough to field\u201d, yet that did not stop him from controlling the game with the ball. His early and middle overs kept LSG under pressure, and once the wickets started falling, there was no way back.<\/p>\n RCB ride experience as Chinnaswamy turns into a fortress<\/strong><\/p>\n RCB\u2019s bowling effort ensured LSG never settled, with tight lines and smart use of conditions. The fielding matched the intensity, including a sharp running catch from Tim David that backed up the bowlers perfectly.<\/p>\n The result added another strong home performance for RCB, with Chinnaswamy increasingly looking like a venue where they are learning to defend totals and dominate with the ball. Bhuvneshwar now sits among the most successful wicket-takers in IPL history, with 205 wickets and counting.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bhuvneshwar Kumar once again proved why experience still matters as he ripped through Lucknow Super Giants with a spell of\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":473,"featured_media":48794,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48793"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48793\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48795,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48793\/revisions\/48795"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
