Bhuvneshwar Kumar became one of the most sought-after players in the IPL 2025 mega auction. The Indian pacer sparked an intense bidding war, and in the end, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) won the race, securing him for a massive ₹10.75 crore.

Bidding War Heats Up

Bhuvneshwar’s IPL journey took an interesting turn on Monday. In the 2022 auction, he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for a much lower ₹4.2 crore. But this time, his base price of ₹2 crore attracted a lot of attention. As soon as his name was called, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) jumped into the bidding. The price shot up quickly, with fans from both teams showing strong interest.

The bidding crossed the ₹10 crore mark in no time. At ₹10.25 crore, Mumbai decided to pull out of the race, leaving RCB and LSG to fight it out. Lucknow seemed ready to secure the pacer at ₹10.5 crore, but RCB made the final move with a bid of ₹10.75 crore. This bid sealed the deal, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will now join RCB’s bowling attack for IPL 2025.

RCB’s New Look Pace Attack

RCB fans can look forward to an exciting season with Bhuvneshwar Kumar joining the squad. He will pair up with Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood, forming a strong duo in the team’s bowling attack. Bhuvneshwar’s experience and skill will add valuable depth to RCB’s pace options, making them a formidable force in the upcoming IPL season.

With this big signing, RCB has certainly strengthened their bowling lineup and will look to challenge for the IPL title in 2025.
