Harshal Patel’s outstanding performance with bat pulled off a surprise 32-run win for Delhi Daredevils during the IPL 2018 season. Patel chipped in with both bat and ball as he not only took the most crucial wicket of Ambati Rayudu, who was then playing for (50 off 29) but also scripted a match-winning partnership with Vijay Shankar.
A rambler start from the top-order, Shankar (36* off 29) and Patel (36* off 16), helped the team to put a 162-run target on the board, courtesy to 65-run stand off 32 balls which brought the fourth win of the 13 games played by the Delhi team. The highlight was the 26 runs which were hammered out in the 20th over of CSK all-rounder Dwayne Bravo.
Though CSK got a cautious start wherein the team collected 22 runs off the first five overs, later Rayudu smashed pacer Avesh Khan for 22 runs, owing to three sixes and a four. Rayudu was playing on the front foot and secured his third fifty of the seasons but departed on the very next ball of Patel, leaving CSK stranded on 70/2 in 10 overs.
With impressive bowling spells, leg-spinners Amit Mishra (2/20) and Sandeep Lamichhane (1/21) restricted the Dhoni-led side to 128/6. Both Suresh Raina (15 off 18) and skipper MS Dhoni (17 off 23) could not give their team the desired finish.
Harshal Patel is part of Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2022.
