The Indian Premier League (IPL) against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday is set to make his first presence in 2025 at MA Chidambaram Stadium at Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). In the initial match of RCB against Kolkata Knight Riders due to a minor injury confirmed by the franchise on social media, the swing bowler remembered the RCB’s initial match.
RCB launched its campaign with a seven -wicket win over KKR, easily pursued 175. While Bhubaneswar’s absence was notable, the team was well successful in his place. The 35-year-old, bought for ₹ 10.75 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction-made the 10th most expensive Indian player-he was cured and was seen bowling at full inclination in the nets.

RCB mentor Dinesh Karthik said in a pre-match press conference on the match Eve, “As far as I know, there are no problems.”
Bhubaneswar’s return bolters RCB’s pace attack, which is now experienced pracharaks like Josh Hazelwood. Both Australian Quick Hazelwood and Bhubaneswar are expert in bowling in Powerplay and Death over. In addition to Rashikh Salaam as a middle and death-over expert with Yash Dayal and Spinner Suyash Sharma, the RCB gives a well-round bowling unit-a significant upgrade from the back-of-back sessions.
With Bhubaneswar, RCB’s goal will aim to maintain the pace of its victory against a strong CSK side in Chennai.
