Has there been a better signing for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at an IPL auction in recent history? You’ll have a hard time thinking of a name apart from Josh Hazlewood, who’s been a massive boost for the Red and Gold Brigade at IPL 2025 so far. Yes, the likes of Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Tim David have been phenomenal, but RCB’s main weapon has been the Australian maestro, who’s perhaps one of the best all-format bowlers alongside Jasprit Bumrah currently.
Josh Hazlewood’s menace at IPL 2025
No, he’s not a fancy express pacer who zips past a batter’s head like wind. No, he doesn’t have a slingy action or even a loopy one to deceive someone. Instead, Hazlewood’s a traditional right-arm pacer who relies on bowling at wicket-to-wicket areas consistently. Consistently is a key word here because Hazlewood’s U.S.P. is that he “bores” a batter, bowling at a spot again and again, thus forcing a mistake.
At Rs 12.50 crore, he’s been quite fantastic, having taken 18 wickets, which is the most by any player so far at IPL 2025. Hazlewood is the current Purple Cap holder, an honour worn by bowlers with the most wickets at one particular moment. In powerplay, he’s taken wickets consistently and at the death. Hazlewood recently won RCB a game against the Rajasthan Royals too.
