IPL 2022: RCB's Josh Hazlewood Says He Enjoys 'Unreal' Bounce At DY Patil Stadium

IPL 2022: Josh Hazlewood who loved 'unreal' bounce at DY Patil with the new ball, also bowled brilliantly in the death as he gave away just three runs in the 19th over.

Fast bowlers have made a mark this season with the likes of Umran Malik and Pat Cummins making the headlines. On Tuesday, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 18 runs. 

Josh Hazlewood, who picked up 4 key wickets was one of the reasons behind RCB's victory against LSG. Hazlewood said that he loved bowling at the DY Patil Stadium which offers 'unreal' bounce with the new ball. 

"It was good fun. The challenge at the end when the batters are coming hard. Obviously we had the big side to try and use and I thought we used it pretty well. He is the skip he got us the big score. Faf has been brilliant. Few lean games, but he took his time today and kept the scoring going along and finished with a bang. Credit to him," said Hazlewood in a post-match presentation.

"Just turned and tried to get back to my mark as quickly as I could, got pretty lucky on that one (smiles). I am really enjoying the bounce. Wankhede has got nice bounce but here at the DY, the bounce is unreal with the new ball. If you get it right you can create opportunities in those first few overs. We have got a well-rounded bowling attack and we cover all bases," he added.

A captain's knock from Faf du Plessis (96 runs) helped RCB post a respectable 181/6 against Lucknow. RCB was off to a poor start as Sri Lankan pacer Dushmantha Chammera bagged two early wickets in the first over to put Lucknow on top.

RCB made a comeback after this debacle.
