Josh Hazlewood is back with Bengaluru just in time for the Indian cricket league's playoffs. The Australian fast bowler had been recovering from a shoulder injury and training at home in Brisbane. Now, he has returned to India, ready to help his team during the most important stage of the tournament.

Hazlewood did not play in the early part of the league due to a busy international schedule and fitness issues. His return to Bengaluru will help the team, which has improved as the season has progressed, climb higher.

Bengaluru's last game was against Hyderabad, which resulted in a loss. With Hazlewood’s presence, their upcoming match against Lucknow can have a significant effect. The team is looking for its first-ever title in the league.

With tough games ahead, Hazlewood’s pace and control could make a real difference. Fans are excited to see if his return can help Bengaluru go all the way this time.
