Declaring that he feels "nice and fresh" after his injury break, Josh Hazlewood has delivered another fast-bowling masterclass for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League to consign Chennai Super Kings to a record home defeat.
Silencing the famously noisy fans at Chepauk Stadium on Friday, the rejuvenated quick struck twice in his first over and ended with superb figures of 3-21 and 15 dot balls as he helped condemn the hosts to their landmark 50-run defeat.
It was the second match running that the 34-year-old, looking back to something like his brilliant best after hip, side and calf injuries over the summer, had propelled RCB to a convincing victory as they became the first side to win two matches this season.
