According to Harshal Patel, getting bought for Rs. 10.75 crore is not a good deal for him.
IPL 2022 will see Harshal play for RCB.
This season, he has taken nine wickets in seven matches.
Paceman Harshal Patel of the Royal Challengers Bangalore cricket team has described the critical event in both his professional and personal life.
He is an important part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore bowling lineup, and he is known for his ability to wreak havoc on hitters with his slower deliveries. When the Delhi Capitals traded for him to the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League (IPL), his life took a new turn. Since then, the pacer hasn’t looked back, as he was purchased by RCB for Rs 10.75 crore at the February auction.
Harshal considers his move from Delhi Capitals to Royal Challengers Bangalore as a watershed event in his cricket career and personal life. Harshal was acquired by RCB from Delhi Capitals prior to the IPL 2021 season. Harshal was the Purple Cap winner that year after taking 32 wickets.
“The Delhi Capitals have just informed me that you have been traded to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for cash. RCB allegedly paid them an additional fee to bring me on board. Both my cricket career and personal life were changed forever at that moment. My brother explained to me that an auction is like a marketplace in which you put your services up for bid and other people compete to buy them. Your options are to enhance yourself, or you will remain in a position where no one wants to acquire your services “Breakfast With Champions host Harshal remarked.
“It was about the price tag’s value to me, and I took it very seriously. In my current state of affairs, I don’t think I need Rs 10.75 crore in my life. I’m not interested in these kinds of things, but the tag’s value makes me happy. After the 2018 auction, I decided that I wanted to be a valuable player and that I wanted to be a valuable player. My name should automatically be included in the team’s roster when it is announced. That was the driving force behind all of my decisions, including my desire to play with more risk and express myself more freely on the field “furthermore, he said.
To date, Harshal has taken nine wickets in seven games this season, with the best bowling performance of 2-11.
