IPL 2026: 'I Come Here Being Big Josh's Backup,’ Says Duffy On His Role After Match-winning 3-fer On Debut
Indian Premier League: New Zealand pacer Jacob Duffy made an immediate impact on his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut but remained grounded about his place in the star-studded Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) setup, reiterating that his primary role is to support and step into Josh Hazelwood’s' shoes in his absence.
After picking up an impressive 3-22 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in RCB’s commanding six-wicket win in the IPL 2026 opener on Saturday, Duffy reflected on both the experience of stepping into the league and the clarity around his role within the squad.
"It's amazing. As a New Zealander, you watch from a distance, and you see the glitz and the glamour of the IPL and to be part of it and to be part of such an epic franchise at RCB, that's pretty special, and I guess to start off the campaign with such a comprehensive win, that's pretty awesome,” Duffy said in a video shared by IPL.
