Twice a winner of the prestigious Purple Cap, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a TATA IPL great. One of the tournament’s leading wicket-takers, Kumar is famous for being equally effective in the slog overs as he is with the swinging new ball in hand. With close to 300 international wickets to his name, the experienced campaigner brings great expertise to any team he plays for. RCB acquired Kumar's services for a whopping price of INR 10.75 Crore in the 2025 auction. As a leader of the bowling attack, Kumar, who is among India’s top wicket-takers in T20Is, can bring great stability to the RCB bowling line-up.
