Bhuvneshwar Kumar Sharpens Yorkers Before Indian Premier League 2026

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been practicing hard for the IPL 2026. Having won the previous season, he aims to deliver his best yet again for the team this time. Recently, a video has gone viral from the practice sessions as Bhuvi nails some yorkers against Virat Kohli.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is getting ready for another banger IPL season. The seasons have changed but his bowling style has still been the reason why he remains the Swing King of the game. With Royal Challengers Bengaluru, he has been able to shine to some new levels, despite his last international game coming years back.

Several videos of the net sessions have now gone viral over the internet, where fans can see Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowl some tight lengths to the batters. Recently, he shared a net session with Virat Kohli, who has just joined the team's training camp a few days back.

Virat Kohli looked at his very best, giving some of the finest stroke play we have ever seen from The King. But Bhuvneshwar Kumar also gave him some serious competition in the nets session. He bowled some tight yorkers which even made Virat Kohli struggle to some extent. With the King getting ready for the next season, the Swing King is also coming to give his best.

Our Take

Watching Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowl at his very best has given nostalgia to the cricket fans. Kohli and Bhuvi in the nets was intense, as the 2016 Orange Cap winner and the 2016 Purple Cap winner went against each other. While Kohli is looking fine with the bat, the team also needed someone who's doing well with the ball.

Josh Hazlewood will be unavailable for the first few games of the tournament. Till he comes back, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be taking charge of the team's bowling attack, bringing down his experience to the game. He also played a crucial role for RCB in its last campaign, where they won the first-ever title.
