Former Indian cricket star Sachin Tendulkar has commended Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his exceptional performance in IPL 2026. Bhuvneshwar’s innovative use of the ‘wobbly seam’ technique has posed challenges for batsmen, with 26 wickets in 15 matches leading RCB to the IPL 2026 final against Gujarat Titans.
Tendulkar highlighted Bhuvneshwar’s strategic shift from traditional swing to a more direct approach, focusing on accuracy and seam movement to unsettle opponents. The veteran bowler’s ability to maintain tight lines and deceive batters with the wobbly seam has been key to his success this season, according to Tendulkar.
With RCB eyeing their second consecutive IPL title, Bhuvneshwar’s form with the new ball will be crucial in the final against Gujarat Titans. His impressive track record of 26 wickets makes him a potential game-changer in the highly anticipated match.
