The first match of the IPL 2025 is underway in Eden Gardens, Kolkata, between KKR and RCB. However, in the shocking news, RCB Captain Rajat Patidar won the toss, not naming Bhuvaneshwar Kumar in the playing XI. Notably, RCB bought him for INR 10.75 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Many believed Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the obvious choice for the XI, but the management opted for young talent over experience.
Rajat Patidar did not reveal any reason for benching one of the most experienced bowlers in the league, and fans troll the team after Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine batted amazingly.

A Twitter user, Unfunny Soniya, was shocked with the decision. She wrote, “After many years, finally RCB got a lethal bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, but they chose to bench him. The most useless faltu team of IPL for a reason. They deserve 10th place for a reason.”
