Talking about RCB pacer Josh Hazlewood's absence from the team, former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif opined that not having the 34-year-old fast bowler is like "getting your right hand cut away". "Without Hazlewood, RCB's bowling attack is one-dimensional," Kaif added. Hazlewood, who is recovering from a shoulder injury, is reportedly likely to return to RCB for the IPL 2025 playoffs.
