Twitter Explodes After Bhuvneshwars Brilliant All-Round Display
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are back at the top of the table. By defeating Mumbai Indians in the last game, they eliminated the five time champions. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the highlight of the game, as he took 4 wickets and even smashed a match winning six.
Aging like a fine wine would be the best line to describe the RCB and Indian pacer, Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He has been dominant in the IPL 2026 season, coming as one of the key buys for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In the clash against Mumbai Indians, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was able to give his best.
He started off by taking the wicket of Ryan Rickelton in the very first over of the game. Later, he took the wickets of Rohit Sharma and the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav in consecutive deliveries, putting MI in a difficult position. Eventually, he was able to finish his spell with 4 wickets, as he also took the wicket of the set batsman, Tilak Varma.
But this was not just enough for Bhuvneshwar Kumar to help RCB win the game. He returned with the bat when the team required 10 runs off 3 balls. When everyone thought that the match was out of their hands, Bhuvneshwar turned the tables by smashing a six. RCB went on to chase the target on the last ball, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar winning the POTM and Purple Cap both.
Here's how Twitter has reacted to Bhuvi’s all-round performances.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar contributed much more to the RCB with his four wickets. But ultimately, the six which he smashed in the last over became the highlight of the game.
Maybe
And maybe a spot in the Indian team too...

With this game, Bhuvneshwar has not just sealed a spot for RCB in the playoffs. He has almost sealed his spot back in the Indian team, preparing for an international comeback.
