Bhuvneshwar Kumar matches Mohammed Shami's legendary record in IPL 2026 final vs Gujarat Titans

Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Bhuvneshwar Kumar continued his impressive IPL 2026 campaign with another crucial breakthrough in the final against Gujarat Titans. The veteran seamer removed Sai Sudharsan for 12 off 12 deliveries during the powerplay, further underlining his impact with the new ball this season.

The wicket also helped Bhuvneshwar equal a notable IPL record. He now shares the



mark for the most powerplay wickets by an Indian bowler in a single IPL season with Mohammed Shami, with both pacers claiming 17 wickets in the first six overs.

Overall, Gujarat Titans fast bowler Kagiso Rabada leads the chart with 19 powerplay wickets this season and has the chance to extend his tally when RCB begin their chase in the second innings.
