Harshal Patel once again made a vital contribution, helping RCB clinch a tight encounter against the Delhi Capitals by 1 run. The right-arm bowler bowled the 17th and 19th over, conceding 10 and 11 runs against two set and destructive batsmen - Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer.
In a chat with Mohammed Siraj, posted on RCB’s social media handles after the DC encounter, Patel said:
Speaking about the plans in his final two overs against Rishabh Pant and Hetmyer, Harshal Patel said:
Harshal Patel still leads the chart for the highest wicket-takers in this IPL with 17 wickets to his name in 6 games.
With 2-ball-10 needed, I had only one option, and that was to go for wide yorkers: Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj has drastically improved on his yorkers and emerged as an option at the death for RCB. Siraj was successful in defending 14 runs in the final over against Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer.
Like Harshal Patel, Siraj’s plan was also to go for the yorkers.
RCB are once again back on top of the table following their latest win over DC. The Bangalore franchise will be in action again on 30 April, where they will lock horns with the Punjab Kings.
