While Kumar tried to shed some light on his achievements in the league, it was his RCB teammate Devdutt Padikkal who added a bit of glee to the post, though with a comment on Instagram.
Gujarat Titans pacer Kagiso Rabada claimed the purple cap for taking the most wickets in this season. The South African bowler bagged 29 scalps in 17 games, one more than Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and won the individual title.

A post shared by Bhuvneshwar Kumar (@imbhuvi)
A decade ago, Bhuvneshwar was against RCB in another IPL final
In the 2016 final, Sunrisers Hyderabad was up against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. It was a high-scoring contest at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli started the run chase brilliantly in the second innings. Maintaining a strike rate of 200.00, Gayle scored 76 off 38, while Virat claimed a well-composed 54 off 35.
In that summit clash, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, then the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowler, did not take any wickets, but did not allow the opposing batters to score runs with open arms. In his four-over spell, the seamer offered only 25 runs and maintained an economy rate of 6.25. In 2016, Kumar had both the IPL trophy and the purple cap.
