Jacob Bethell Likely To Recover For RCB Before IPL 2025

England star Jacob Bethell is expected to attain full recovery in time before the IPL 2025 season for the RCB franchise. The youngster was forced to miss the entirety of England’s 2025 ICC Champions Trophy campaign in Pakistan, prompting the ECB to replace him with Tom Banton owing to a hamstring injury.

Back in November during the IPL 2025 mega auction, Bethell was acquired by the RCB franchise for a staggering sum of Rs. 2.60 crore. As reported by The Daily Mail, the 21-year-old is well on course for a timely recovery.

In response, Matthews bludgeoned 68 off just 46 balls with eight boundaries and two sixes. Nat Sciver-Brunt composed 37 swift runs from her end before Amanjot Kaur and Yastika Bhatia soared Mumbai Indians past the finishing line in just 18.3 overs. In doing so, the Mumbai Indians displaced Gujarat Giants to take the number two spot on the WPL 2025 points table.
