Harshal Patel is a talented Indian cricketer known for his right-arm medium-pace bowling and handy lower-order batting skills. Here's a quick summary:

  • Playing Style: Right-handed batsman, Right-arm medium-fast bowler with a deceptive slower ball
  • IPL Debut: 2012 (for Royal Challengers Bangalore)
  • IPL Team (2024): Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) (Traded in ahead of IPL 2024)

IPL Journey:

Harshal Patel's IPL career has been like a boomerang, returning to his original team, Royal Challengers Bangalore.

  • Early Years (2012-2017): Patel started his IPL journey with RCB in 2012. While he showed glimpses of potential, he couldn't secure a permanent spot in the playing XI.
  • Shift to Delhi Capitals (2018-2020): After a few seasons with RCB, Patel was picked up by Delhi Capitals in 2018. There, he honed his skills and emerged as a more consistent bowler.
  • Triumphant Return to RCB (2021-Present): In the 2021 IPL mega-auction, RCB reacquired Patel. This proved to be a masterstroke, as he had a phenomenal season, taking a record-breaking 32 wickets and winning the Purple Cap. This performance also earned him his international debut for India.

Recent Update (IPL 2024):

There were some rumors about Harshal Patel being released by RCB after a dip in form during the 2023 IPL season. However, in a surprising turn of events, RCB traded for him again ahead of the 2024 IPL, showcasing their continued faith in his abilities.
