Won 7 finals, preparing for victory in 8th.
The final of IPL 2026 will be the 8th final of Josh Hazlewood’s white ball career. All the 7 finals played before this have been in the name of Hazlewood and his team. Be it fifty over format or 20 over format. The big thing is that out of those 7 finals, 2 finals were of IPL only, in which Hazlewood tasted victory. That is, this time Hazlewood will be seen playing his third IPL final and if the figures remain the same as before, then with the luck of this one player, RCB is also sure to become IPL champion for the second consecutive time.

Josh Hazlewood’s final success started in 2012. That year he won his first final of the Champions League T20. After that he was a part of the Australian team that won the Cricket World Cup in 2015. He won the final of BBL 2020. Won the final of IPL 2021 with CSK. In the same year, the final of T20 World Cup 2021 was also won with the Australian team. Won the Cricket World Cup of 50 over format once again in 2023. Hazlewood won the last final as the final of IPL 2025.
One person is enough!
Now for the second consecutive year, another IPL final is waiting for Josh Hazlewood. Josh Hazlewood has taken 13 wickets in the 12 matches played so far in IPL 2026. It is expected that he will not only become RCB’s lucky charm in the final but will also try to give his best against Gujarat Titans.
