Royal Challengers Bengaluru made a bold call ahead of IPL 2025 by letting go of several senior names. They had three Right to Match cards but used only one. The team brought back Swapnil Singh but decided not to re-sign experienced stars like Mohammed Siraj, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell.
Speaking to Cricbuzz, Mo Bobat said that releasing Mohammed Siraj was a strategic move to sign Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He added that retaining Siraj could have hindered the team’s plans to bring in Bhuvi.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is India’s fourth-highest wicket-taker in T20Is. He has taken 90 wickets in 87 matches at an average of 23.10 and a strike rate of 6.96, including two five-wicket hauls and three four-wicket hauls. However, he hasn’t represented India in T20Is since November 2022.
