IPL 2021: As such, Bhuvneshwar Kumar of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowled a 13-run last over against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match 52 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in Abu Dhabi. The victory is SRH’s third of the season, despite the fact that they remain at the bottom of the points table.
AB de Villiers considered the most dangerous batter in these situations, was dismissed for 12 runs in the final four deliveries by Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
“When AB bats, you think more than other batsmen. I will be lying if I say there were no nerves. I was more focused on the process of where to bowl at him. The plan was to bowl full and nothing else. I was trying to bowl wide yorkers. I bowled a straight and got hit for a six and then again went back to wide yorkers. It was the only plan for him.” he said
RCB was in control of the game, requiring 18 runs off the final two overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar lost a catch in the penultimate over bowled by Jason Holder. The West Indian, on the other hand, only gave up five runs and dismissed the dangerous-looking Shahbaz Ahmed.
However, Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled two overs in the powerplay and one at the end of his four overs, handing out 25 runs and removing Indian skipper Virat Kohli in the opening over.

“If you look at the scores in all the three venues, it hasn’t been much. We did think we were 10-15 short, though. But the way we bowled as a bowling unit, it was tremendous.” Bhuvneshwar Kumar added
On Friday in Abu Dhabi, SRH will conclude their IPL 2021 campaign against the defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI), who will be looking for a strong win to secure a playoff berth.
