Bhuvneshwar Kumar IPL record
Even though Kumar played for RCB in 2009, this wasn’t his IPL debut. In fact, he played for the team in the Champions League T20. The right-arm bowler made his IPL debut with the then new-IPL entrant, Pune Warriors India, which is now defunct. In 2014, after PWI was defunct, he moved to SRH.
