Josh Hazlewood has had several standout performances for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in his IPL career. In 2026 itself, he took 1-20 against LSG [RCB won by five wickets] and 4-12 against DC [RCB won by nine wickets]. However, those are not the games Hazlewood remembers most fondly. He treasures the matches where he has fought back from being hit.

In RCB’s last win against five-time champions Mumbai Indians on May 10, Hazlewood’s first over went for 16 runs, but he still ended up with figures of 1-33. That’s the kind of day Hazlewood looks back on with pride.
