About
Josh Hazlewood, the Australian fast bowler, is indeed a regular member of the Australian Test team and is renowned for his pace, bouncers, and consistent performances. At the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, Hazlewood was picked up by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for INR 7.75 crore. Several franchises, including Delhi, Lucknow, Chennai, and Mumbai Indians, showed interest in acquiring his services, but it was RCB who eventually secured the deal. Previously, Hazlewood was bought by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL Player Auction ahead of the 2020 season. His talent had caught the eye of IPL scouts when he was picked by the Mumbai Indians ahead of the 2014 edition of the league. With his experience in high-pressure games and his composed temperament, Hazlewood possesses the qualities required to excel in the IPL. His addition to the RCB squad adds firepower to their bowling attack, and he is expected to make a significant impact in the tournament.
