Bhuvneshwar Kumar emerged as the most expensive player sold in the early bidding on day two of the IPL auction in Jeddah, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru buying him for INR 10.75 crore. Fast bowlers were in high demand with Deepak Chahar going to Mumbai Indians for INR 9.

Take a look at how 'X' users reacted to Bhuvneshwar Kumar joining Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the IPL 2025 mega auction, only on CricTracker.

Fast bowlers remained in vogue as Marco Jansen was the subject of a INR 7 crore bid from Punjab Kings, who held off Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans to land the services of the South African, who demonstrated his big-hitting abilities in the recent series against India.

Bhuvneshwar thus ends his long-standing association with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and goes to RCB - a team where his IPL career began.

As of now, the Uttar Pradesh-based bowler has scalped 181 wickets from 176 matches during his IPL career that started in 2011.
