The 34th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 is being played between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The veteran Indian fast bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has faced a lot of criticism in recent years for not being at his best but when he is on song, he bamboozles batters with his swing.
The Indian pacer displayed his capability once again outfoxing Axar Patel with a toe-crushing yorker which nipped back in the air. Delhi Capitals’ struggle continued in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad as the team scored 138/7 by the end of 19 overs.
Washington Sundar picked up three crucial wickets in one over while Bhuvneshwar was the second-best bowler with the kind of swing he produced throughout the innings. It was his magical inswinger that got the prized wicket of Axar Patel and grabbed the limelight.

The Indian pacer was bowling the 18th over of the innings and Axar Patel was facing the ball with an intention of steering the run rate. However, Bhuvneshwar Kumar had other plans and he bowled a fiery yorker to the southpaw batter. Axar was going to flick the ball but the ball swung back into him sharply and the batter completely missed the line of the delivery.
Here is the video of Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissing Axar Patel:
