IPL 2022 LIVE: According to former India batter Sachin Tendulkar, Harshal Patel’s ability to bowl different variations beautifully is the reason why the 31-year-old Royal Challengers Bangalore pace bowler has been performing so well in the last couple of IPL seasons.

Patel won the Purple Cap in IPL 2021, taking 32 wickets in 15 games. His best figures were 5/27. He was bought back by RCB for a record Rs 10.75 crore in the Mega auctions. He has picked up 18 wickets in 12 games in the ongoing season and hasn’t let his team down.

IPL 2022 LIVE: Harshal Patel Is Closing On 100 IPL Wickets

Patel has 96 wickets in his IPL career. Harshal is now eyeing 100 wickets in the tournament. He made his debut in 2012. He has played for Delhi Capitals and RCB. But the majority of his wickets have come in the last two seasons as he has picked up 50 wickets till now from IPL 2021 onwards.

RCB have 14 points from 13 games in IPL 2022. They can qualify for the playoffs if they win their last league game against Gujarat Titans by a large margin. They’d be counting on Patel to get the job done. Patel took a hat-trick last year against Mumbai Indians, so he has the capability to win the game single-handedly.

Harshal Patel’s Recent Form Has Been Good

Patel took 4-34 in his 4 overs against Punjab Kings and got back to his near best. In the same game, the other two RCB pacers, Josh Hazelwood and Mohammed Siraj went for 100 runs in their combined 6 overs. That meant despite Harshal’s brilliant show with the ball RCB lost the game.

Harshal Patel had to go through a personal loss at the beginning of the season. He lost his sister. He even missed a game. But he has shown a great composure to come back and play for the franchise again. Since his return, he has improved in every game.
