When even the great Virat Kohli salutes him as the player who's making all the difference for his beloved Royal Challengers Bengaluru, then Josh Hazlewood can be assured he must be doing something right.
On Sunday, another two scalps for the evergreen Australian quick ensured Hazlewood donned the purple cap as the IPL's leading wicket-taker of the season while they also helped propel RCB to a six-wicket win over Delhi Capitals that hoists them to the top of the table.
RCB have never won the men's league and it's something that evidently pains their greatest player Kohli a good deal.
