IPL 2025 Final: Why Shreyas Iyer Has Reasons To Be Cautious Against THESE RCB Bowlers Tonight

Here is why Shreyas Iyer as the skipper of PBKS will have to be aware of two bowlers from RCB who typically get him out.

In IPL 2025 final against RCB, Shreyas Iyer as the skipper of PBKS will have to be aware of two bowlers from RCB who typically get him out. Josh Hazlewood has taken Iyer’s wicket four times and given up only 11 runs when facing Iyer in IPL matches. Opening the attack, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has dismissed Iyer three times while bowling to him in eleven innings. As both Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar should play major roles, Iyer will have to handle the job sensibly to make PBKS champions for the first time.

Why Shreyas Iyer Needs To Watch Out For Josh Hazlewood

Shreyas Iyer needs to out carefully for Josh Hazlewood in the IPL 2025 final because he is far ahead un terms of the statistics. In all the six matches they have played agaisnt each other in IPL, Hazlewood has taken Iyer’s wicket four times and has only given away 11 runs in 22 balls. His average is very low at 2.75 with a strike rate of 50. Manyright-handed batsmen have often found it tough to face Hazlewood’s tight line and length, so he helps RCB a lot. Because Iyer plays a big role for PBKS, RCB will likely bring in Hazlewood early to make the most of this mismatch.

Why Shreyas Iyer Needs To Watch Out For Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Shreyas Iyer needs to watch out for Bhuvneshwar Kumar by the time the RCB’s strong pacer comes on the field. In 11 overs against Bhuvi, Iyer has scored 45 runs off 50 balls for an average of 15.00 and a strike rate of 90.00 and was dismissed at the crease thrice. Bhuvi who is especially known for having control over the ball proves himself to be a key player during the powerplay and during the important phases. Since Iyer is usually the third or fourth batter he faces Bhuvi when the pitch is at its most lively. Because of these stats, Bhuvneshwar can be a serious danger to PBKS’s captain.
