Harshal Patel, who performed well in IPL 2021, is making his debut for the Indian team today. He took the most (32) wickets in this season of IPL. He also won a hat-trick against Mumbai Indians this season. Harshal was bought by Mumbai Indians in 2010. He did not get a chance to play a single match for 2 years. He played his first match for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2012, after which he was in and out of the team many times, but he kept working hard. So many days of hard work came in handy in the 2021 season and he won many matches for RCB.
