In the first T20I in Delhi, Rassie van der Dussen had smashed Harshal for three sixes and a four in an over to turn the game around. After the match, the Proteas had said that post the first two sixes, he knew Harshal would turn to his slower balls.
Patel won the Purple Cap in IPL 2021 after taking 32 wickets in 15 games, his best figures being 5/27 for the then-Virat Kohli-led side. He was bought back by the Bengaluru franchise in the mega auction ahead of the new season for a whopping Rs 10.75 crore.
"We are going to celebrate his contributions. It would have been nicer to celebrate that with a trophy in our hands. But it was not meant to be. His contribution has been immense; we are definitely going to celebrate that," said Harshal.
Harshal Patel is looking forward to redemption in the UAE as he oozes confidence ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.
As uncertainty looms over this year's Indian Premier League season, the 29-year old remains confident of Delhi Capitals' prospects.
