IPL 2025: Bhuvneshwar Kumar becomes first Indian pacer to play 300 T20s

The first Indian seamer to reach 300 T20 matches is Bhuvneshwar Kumar, an elite bowler. In the game’s smallest version, it depicts the player’s experience of having an amazing career full with accolades, which is an accomplishment for him. In the 29th IPL 2025 match between the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the cricket player accomplished the accomplishment.

In the format, the seasoned cricket player has claimed 315 wickets at an incredible average of 24.90. He is presently participating in the ongoing edition with the RCB. The Uttar Pradesh native has held back the opposition’s run-flow thus far in his campaign, despite not taking many wickets.

Powerplays have always benefited from Bhuvneshwar’s presence.

He has been very frugal in the 18th edition of the event. He is followed by the star all-rounder from India, Hardik Pandya, who has played 291 games and is presently heading the Mumbai Indians. Jasprit Bumrah, one of the top pacers in the world at the moment, has participated in 234 20-over contests.

The RCB wore a “Green Jersey” in their match against the Rajasthan Royals.

At Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, where RR and RCB are now playing, the visitors are wearing their unique green uniforms. They typically wear this jersey when playing in Bengaluru’s afternoon games. Instead, the team chose to play in Jaipur this season, wearing the ‘Go Green’ initiative shirt, because there were no afternoon games in the beautiful city.

That being said, Rajasthan scored 173/4 in the first innings. In the powerplay, Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled, and in the final over of the innings, he finished with a crucial role. He took Shimron Hetmyer’s crucial wicket as well. It will now be up to the RCB hitters to hunt down the total and continue to dominate the table after the Meerut native ended his session with a final score of 4-0-32-1.
