Throughout the years, Harshal Patel was the proverbial cricketer of a journeyman. First for Gujarat, and to Haryana since 2011. Consistently performing but nothing exceptional of note. “My focus is on taking the opportunities that come my way and continuing the streak I have with both the bat and the ball,” Harshal said. “I have begun practicing already, with the tournament in mind.” “Mentally, it’s going to be the toughest IPL. It’s going to be a five-star jail. At the same time, I feel fortunate that I’m going to be able to play cricket and demonstrate my skills to the event,” he added.
