SRH vs LSG preview: Can Harshal Patel find new safe home at Sunrisers Hyderabad after online trolling in past?
Harshal Patel, a name synonymous with death-over mastery in the Indian Premier League (IPL), boasts two prestigious Purple Cap awards. This rare Indian seamer has carved a niche for himself with his deceptive slower balls and a signature dipping delivery reminiscent of Dwayne Bravo. However, despite his undeniable talent and statical achievements, Harshal has faced a barrage of online trolling.
Haryana coach Amarjit Kaypee, in an interview with The Indian Express, emphasized the unique artry behind Harshal’s bowling. “That is art, how he rolls his wr, that is his art,” Kaypee stated, highlighting the skill that sets Harshal apart. This “art” refers to Harshal’s ability to deceive batsmen with his variations, particularly his dipping delivery that changes altitude, a technique that has earned him considerable success in the IPL.
Despite his on-field success, Harshal Patel has been a target for online trolls. Kaypee addressed this, saying, “Trolling people have the right to say anything; you can’t stop anybody from giving their views. He (Harshal) is mentally very, very strong. He is always focused on what he wants to do, and he is doing what is required for the game.” This highlights Harshal’s mental fortitude and his ability to remain focused amidst criticism.
