Harshal Patel:
Patel’s performance in the previous edition spoke volumes of his talent as a pacer. Although the RCB franchise could not win the title, Harshal proved his point by finishing as the leading wicket-taker. In 15 matches, Harshal clinched 32 wickets and equalled Dwayne Bravo’s record for the most scalps in a single season. Due to his incredible performance, he was popularly called Purple Patel by many last season. Eyeing a similar performance from Patel, RCB brought him back in their squad by signing him for a whopping 10.75 crores. Under the leadership of Faf, Patel would like to make much impact in the tournament by stamping his authority and firming his prospects for T20 World Cup, scheduled for later this year.
