Big blow for RCB as Josh Hazlewood uncertain for IPL 2026
Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their maiden title in the IPL 2025, and Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood had a huge role to play in that win. He finished as their leading wicket-taker and changed the course of the final with big blows to the Punjab Kings' batting order.
Hazlewood has been ruled out of the game ever since the India T20I series and missed the Ashes as well as the ICC T20 World Cup for the Australians. His return is still under immense doubt after his recovery was said to be monitored under physio care, as per a Hindustan Times journalist.
