Australian pace sensation Josh Hazlewood has a stellar IPL 2025 campaign, grabbing 22 wickets from the 12 matches he has played this season. The right-arm seamer has finished up as the third leading wicket-taker in the tournament and played a huge role in guiding the side to win their maiden title on June 3rd after beating Punjab Kings by six runs.
Hazlewood was a part of RCB’s project as the 34-year-old cricketer was an expensive buy in the mega-auction. RCB’s bowling unit relied on Hazlewood’s success, and he managed to live up to his potential and helped them to win their first title.
