By SRTeam If you talk about the star bowlers of the Australian team in the current time, without a doubt, you can’t just skip past Josh Hazlewood’s name. Like, he is actually that good. And without a doubt, because of his consistent performance over the years, like more than a decade now, he is one of the most preferred fast bowling options for the national team in all three formats of the game. To be honest, along with Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood is pretty much the reason why the RCB team is looking so balanced this year in IPL 2025. So, if you’re seeing him play for this franchise for the very first time, let’s get to know him a little better.

Personal Life
Since he is a 1991-born, that makes him about 34 years old right now, but even after playing for so long, the sharpness is there in his bowling, no two ways about that. Just so you know, though, he actually was born and brought up in Tamworth, Australia.
As for his love life, well, he is already married to Cherina Murphy Christian, and so far, the couple has no kids from this marriage.
Professional Life And IPL Career
Josh began his cricketing career by representing New South Wales in 2008 and was capped by the Australian national side in the year 2010 with a debut in One Day Internationals. He made his test debut in December 2014 and showed a phenomenal image of amazing and steady bowling. He performed magnificently in the World Cups, winning for the Australian team in the 2015 and 2023 events and also taking over hundreds of wickets in the format, keeping himself cool and composed over 22 yards.
Josh joined the Chennai Super Kings in the 2020 IPL season after being bought by the franchise. He was auctioned to Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2022 and again retained for the 2025 season. For IPL 2025, he bagged 18 wickets in 10 outings and is one of RCB’s star players. With his capacity to restrict runs in the last couple of overs, he has become a very important player in nail-biting encounters, though, in the very recent match against Chennai Super Kings, he wasn’t playing the game because of ankle injury and sure enough, RCB felt the need of Hazlewood, but still managed to win the game by 2 runs.
