Fans Go Crazy as Josh Hazlewood Links Up with RCB Ahead of IPL 2026
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have received a massive boost right before the IPL 2026 season. Josh Hazlewood, their key bowler, had not joined the team and it was unclear when he would be fit to play. But recently, Hazlewood has arrived in Bengaluru for the upcoming season.

The happy times now begin for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, as the team won't be having much issues with their bowling line-up now. Before the tournament started, the fans were shocked to see the unavailability of their key bowlers. Nuwan Thushara did not receive his NOC from Sri Lankan Cricket, so he didn't join the team.
Yash Dayal opted out of IPL 2026, putting RCB one key bowler short. And there were confirmations that Josh Hazlewood won't be available for the start of the season due to his fitness. Fans also got worried whether Hazlewood will be joining the team before the tournament begins or not.
But fortunately, the HazleGod of RCB is back, as he joined the team. There were a number of reports that he had left for Bengaluru from Australia, and those reports finally turned out to be true. With Hazlewood in the team, RCB has received a major boost for the remainder of the season.
Let's see how Twitter has reacted to the same.
