Josh Hazlewood is fit and ready for IPL 2025, providing a major boost for RCB. He has not joined the practice camp yet but is expected to join soon.
Hazlewood was bought by RCB for INR 12.50 crore at the IPL 2025 auction. He sustained a hamstring injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25, which ruled him out of the Champions Trophy 2025. Now fully fit, he is set to play in IPL 2025 for RCB.
What will be Josh Hazlewood’s role for RCB in IPL 2025?
Josh Hazlewood has the ability to swing the new ball in the powerplay, but RCB might use him differently in IPL 2025. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal as proven new-ball specialists, they are likely to handle powerplay duties, allowing Hazlewood to be utilized in the middle or death overs for strategic impact.
