Bhuvneshwar Kumar On Verge Of Becoming Indian Player To 'THIS' Historic Milestone

In a highly anticipated IPL 2024 showdown between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday, March 23, all eyes are on senior Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. 

Set to lead the bowling attack for SRH, Bhuvneshwar stands on the brink of creating history at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The seasoned campaigner, who hails from Meerut and made his IPL debut in 2011, has been a stalwart for SRH since the 2014 season. With 146 wickets in 129 IPL matches under his belt.

Bhuvneshwar is just four wickets away from a remarkable milestone - becoming the first Indian bowler in IPL history to claim 150 or more wickets for a single team.

This feat would elevate Bhuvneshwar into an elite category, currently occupied only by overseas players. Former Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga and KKR's Sunil Narine have achieved similar milestones, but Bhuvneshwar aims to carve his name into the annals of IPL history as the first Indian to achieve this feat.

The stakes are high as Bhuvneshwar, aged 34, prepares to unleash his fast seam bowling skills against KKR. The match holds special significance as it marks the return of KKR captain Shreyas Iyer, who missed the previous IPL season due to injury.

Adding to the excitement is the leadership of Australian cricketer Pat Cummins, who now leads SRH after being signed for a whopping Rs 20.50 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. Cummins, a former KKR player, brings a wealth of experience to the team, setting the stage for an electrifying contest at Eden Gardens.

As cricket fans eagerly await the outcome of this clash, all eyes remain fixed on Bhuvneshwar Kumar, poised to etch his name in IPL folklore with a historic achievement.
