Friends, this IPL season came with a big surprise from Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). One team official said that RCB wanted to pick Bhuvneshwar Kumar first, even more than Mohammed Siraj, during the auction talks.
Let me tell you why! RCB really liked Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his experience and cool mindset. He bowls well in the powerplay and can swing the ball. RCB thought Bhuvi’s skills and leadership would help fix their bowling problems. The team struggled in the last few seasons, so they wanted someone steady and smart.
The official explained, “We checked the top fast bowlers. Bhuvi bowls well in important overs and does not lose focus, even in tough moments. Yes, Siraj is good and helped us earlier. But this year, we wanted a bowler who could guide young players and start strong. That is why we wanted Bhuvi.”
In the end, Bhuvneshwar Kumar returned to his old team after heavy bidding. So, RCB kept Siraj and looked for other bowlers. The official said Siraj is aggressive and talented. Their plan was to use his energy along with a senior like Bhuvi, who could keep control during the game.
Some RCB fans feel mixed, but team managers believe their plan will work for IPL 2025. The squad is working hard now. Siraj will play a big role, but RCB still wants more experience before the matches begin.
So, with new faces and this new strategy, fans are waiting to see if RCB’s bowlers can help win the trophy this time!
