Sachin Tendulkar himself has praised Bhuvneshwar Kumar,and when Sachin talks about bowling skill in such detail,you listen only.
And this season,Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been seriously important for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). 26 wickets in just 15 matches is not small thing ah,especially in IPL where bowlers usually get smashed if they miss by even little bit .
What Sachin Tendulkar pointed out is Bhuvneshwar's use of 'wobbly seam'. Earlier many people mostly saw him as swing bowler,but now his method looks more calculated . Less about big movement,more about straight lines and making batter doubt everything.
In video shared on X,Tendulkar explained how Bhuvneshwar has shifted from relying only on conventional swing to bowling tighter lines,especially around off-stump . And honestly,that makes sense because batters are not getting clear signal from wrist or seam position.
Few things standing out clearly before final:
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar has taken 26 wickets in just 15 matches this season.
- Sachin Tendulkar praised his 'wobbly seam' and accuracy.
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) face Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026 final while chasing second consecutive IPL title.
And tbh,this 'wobbly seam' thing is exactly the kind of small technical detail casual viewers may miss . Ball may look simple from TV angle,but for batter standing there,it can become real headache because late uncertainty changes shot selection completely.
RCB reaching final against Gujarat Titans has already created big excitement,but now spotlight on Bhuvneshwar with new ball will be even sharper . If he gets early movement or even creates doubt,match can tilt very quickly.
At same time,final pressure is different only . League match rhythm and final night nerves are not same,and even best plans can go wrong in few overs.
So now question is simple but heavy: can Bhuvneshwar Kumar bring that same accuracy,that same 'wobbly seam',when RCB need it most…
