RCB vs DC LIVE: Harshal Patel Likely to be Dropped
Harshal Patel’s poor performance in three matches is likely to cost him his spot in the playing 11 for the upcoming clash against DC. In three matches, he has bowled 11 overs and conceded 129 runs, while scalping just 4 wickets. The team management is expected to explore other options to bolster their bowling attack and secure a win in the crucial encounter. Team management may bring in Siddharth Kaul, who is a specialist T20 bowler.
Adding to Patel’s below-par performance, in the previous match against Lucknow Super Giants, he conceded 48 runs. During this match, his economy rate was 12 runs per over while scalping just two wickets of tail-enders. His inability to contain the run flow and pick up crucial wickets has been a major concern for the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
So far in the tournament, RCB has not given a chance to Siddharth Kaul. However, in the upcoming game against DC, they may replace inconsistent Harshal Patel with Kaul. The Bangalore-based franchise acquired the services of Siddharth Kaul for Rs 75.00 Lacs.
In contrast, the Delhi Capitals have a formidable bowling attack. DC has the likes of Anrich Nortje, Avesh Khan, and Mustafizur Rahman leading the charge. The Royal Challengers Bangalore will need to step up their game if they hope to counter the Delhi Capitals’ bowling prowess and secure a victory.
The upcoming match promises to be an exciting encounter between two strong teams. With both teams vying for a win to improve their position in the tournament, the match is sure to be a thrilling spectacle. The stage is set for a high-intensity clash, and all eyes will be on the key players as they battle it out for victory.
