RCB pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar reflects on his 200 IPL wickets milestone after a match-winning 3/41 vs CSK, calling it a result of years of consistency and adaptation in T20 cricket.
Bhuvneshwar began his IPL journey in 2009 with RCB but didn’t play in his first two seasons before moving to the now-defunct Pune Warriors.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked a brilliant 3-41, while Pat Cummins and T Natarajan took two wickets each as Sunrisers Hyderabad came out of nowhere to clinch a dramatic and thrilling one-run win over Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday.

It may not be that easy for the Indian team since the Indian bowler who has taken most wickets against West Indies is currently not in the squad.
The first T20I match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on 6 December.
On Sunday, Kohli -- who hit five consecutive half-centuries in the recently concluded World Cup but failed to convert any -- ended his five-month drought for an ODI hundred with a brilliant 120-run knock.
Enroute his eighth ODI ton against the West Indies, Kohli went past Sourav Ganguly's tally of 11,221 runs to become India's second-highest run-scorer in ODI cricket after Sachin Tendulkar (18,426 runs).
Praising Saini, who starred in India's win with figures of 3 for 17 in his international debut, Bhuneshwar said, "Just before coming into the team he played for India A against West Indies A in West Indies. That is why he did well. When you do well at international level, it gives you a lot of confidence."
