sarcastic Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 He is picking up wickets in buckets consistently in every match. He is the primary reason RCB started with 4 b2b wins. Has got a firm hold on purple cap. What next for him? Is he ready to take over his skillset which seems to work to team India in T20Is. Do you see a good international career opening up for him given that he is giving all these magnificent performances under King Kohli.
sage Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 he always had something special about him those with a good cricketing eye spotted that
poi Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) The thing to watch is for how he bounces back in the next game. Edited April 26, 2021 by poi beetle 1

prudent_kreeda Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Basically his main USP is Slowing the pace . This novelty works till batsmen gets hang of it . Undercutter did very well in one season and then batsmen started getting after him , same goes for Kaul . Such guys generally pick up cheap wickets during last 3-4 overs of the match . Not sure if he can sustain this mystery for next season too.

Pollack Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Greatest fast bowling talent to come up from IPL. Next bumrah in making. All bow down to his greatness and talent.
Mariyam Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Was today the death knell of the Harshal Patel myth? 4 overs 53 for 0.

He ll need to add more variation, use or crease and make his seam bowling more stronger. And ofcourse landing of the yorker has to be at natrajan level or else jadeja episode will happen again n again

He was touted as a world class batsman who could bowl. Lara was his mentor and rated and helped both Bravo brothers. He has taken apart world class bowling with the bat in tests cricket as well. So Harshal being Bravo level or even slightly better than him is of no use unless he can contribute at that level.

He is a fantastic batting talent. Actually a better comparison would be Pandya. Batting talent + competent bowling. Harshal’s batting and bowling doesn’t merit a spot in Indian line up. You need to have at least one skill that sets you apart. His bowling is not good enough to merit a spot in the line up nor his batting is something that is must-have in the current side given the resources we have.

OBV i wnt myself prefer to go for Harshal in indian team what I meant to say is having a guy like Bravo for bowling alone is pointless. If you have a guy in domestics who has that level of batting talent and can bowl even 50% of him then by all means hype him. We already have a guy and his name is Pandya and the fact that he is the only guy in that Bravo ball park is what is helping him out with not having much accountability and long rope. Happy for an industrious domestic cricketer like Harshal though and happy that he will make some good money for a few years in IPL. That’s about it. Those are my views.
