RCB in big trouble?

While fans are happy that IPL 2025 is resuming, Virat Kohli‘s RCB will likely suffer a big blow. The team’s spearhead of pace attack, Josh Hazlewood, might miss the remaining league matches. Besides the shoulder injury, his IPL journey might face a break this year because Cricket Australia wants him to be fit for the World Test Championship final at Lord’s.

So, Hazlewood might take a complete rest by missing IPL 2025 and get fit for the final at Lord’s. For the unversed, Hazlewood has been a match-winner for RCB this season and has already taken 18 wickets this year.
