It's a very balanced lineup – Josh Hazlewood on RCB’s bowling depth
18 Apr, 2026 By Editor

Josh Hazlewood returned to RCB after a long spell of injury. He faced many challenges until now but in the last game against LSG, he returned to his phenomenal best. Hazlewood being in form will be a massive boost for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Talking on RCB Game Day, Hoff opened up about his recovery and the basics he is working on. Hoff also opened up on how the entire bowling unit came together against LSG and the balance that makes RCB menacing in the ongoing tournament.

Shedding light on his recovery and RCB’s collective show against LSG, Hoff said, “It's been a long few months, sort of getting back to this point. I'm very happy, yes. The other night was, you know, it was a great night, I think, as a full bowling group, as almost the ultimate preparation, planning, and then execution of that game plan. So, yeah, we're in a pretty good place as a bowling group, and everyone's doing their role, and yeah, it was a great night last night.”

Underpinning RCB’s collective strength, Hazlewood added, “I think the best thing is it's a very balanced lineup. You know, you throw the two spinners in, we've got Sheppy (Romario Shepherd) there who can chip in when he needs to. I think everyone sort of brings their own skill set. No one's trying to be each other. We're just being our own individual bowler. We're all a little bit different. So that sort of lends itself to a nice balance in the lineup.”
