Bhuvneshwar Kumar showed his brilliant bowling skills in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match on Thursday at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Uttar Pradesh captain took a stunning T20 hat-trick, helping his team win an exciting match against Jharkhand. This great performance added another big moment to his famous cricket career.

In this important game, Uttar Pradesh batted first and scored 161 runs. Jharkhand needed to chase this target, but Bhuvneshwar’s smart bowling made it very tough for them. Recently, Bhuvneshwar was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for ₹10.75 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He showed why he was worth that price by bowling with great control from the start. In his first three overs with the new ball, he gave away only six runs and kept the Jharkhand batters under pressure.
The most exciting moment of the match came in the 17th over. Bhuvneshwar returned to bowl and completely changed the game. He took three wickets in three balls, which is called a hat-trick. He dismissed Robin Minz, Bal Krishna, and Vivek Anand Tiwari on consecutive deliveries. It was also a maiden over, meaning he didn’t give away any runs in that over. His final bowling figures were amazing: 4 overs, 1 maiden, 6 runs, and 3 wickets. With this hat trick, Bhuvneshwar became the fourth bowler in this season’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy to achieve this, joining Akash Madhwal, Shreyas Gopal, and Felix Almeao.

Earlier in the tournament, Bhuvneshwar made another record. He became the first Indian fast bowler to take 300 wickets in T20 cricket, passing Jasprit Bumrah’s record. Among Indian bowlers, only spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal (364), Piyush Chawla (319), and Ravichandran Ashwin (310) have more T20 wickets than him.
Bhuvneshwar’s cricket journey has been amazing. He started playing T20 matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2009 during the Champions League T20. He didn’t take any wickets in his debut match, but now, 15 years later, he is one of the best T20 bowlers in the world. Known for his ability to swing the ball and bowl with accuracy, Bhuvneshwar has proven his worth time and again. His return to RCB is a proud moment for him and his fans.

With a fantastic season in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and a big IPL contract, Bhuvneshwar Kumar continues to show why he is one of the most successful bowlers in cricket. His leadership and performances inspire players and fans everywhere, making him a true legend of the game.
