Royal Challengers Bengaluru have received a significant boost ahead of their final league match and the upcoming IPL playoffs with the return of star pacer Josh Hazlewood. Hazlewood, who is RCB’s highest wicket-taker this season, is set to rejoin the squad after a spell on the sidelines due to a shoulder injury.

“Yeah, obviously, it's great to be back. Made the most of the last week in Brisbane and bowled quite a few overs. Everything is feeling very good. Hopefully, will get the the ball rolling. Looking forward to starting practice ,” Hazlewood said in a video shared by RCB.

His return is perfectly timed for RCB, who are aiming to carry their strong form into the playoffs. Meanwhile, Hazlewood has been out of action since April 27, following a one-week IPL suspension and subsequent return to Australia. His availability had been in doubt for weeks, but now that he is here, everything is clear.
