Carlos Brathwaite says “He almost reminded me of Dwayne Bravo” on Harshal Patel in the Indian Premier League. Brathwaite said that Harshal Patel’s slower deliveries reminded him of Bravo. RCB pacer’s show of slow deliveries helped him claim a hat-trick in their win over Mumbai. Harshal was roped in by Bangalore in the trade window. As a specialist death bowler and he has lived up to the task. Patel currently holds the purple cap and extended the lead at the top with three wickets. Against the defending champions in the Indian Premier League.
Dwayne Bravo deceives batsmen with a quick-arm action and feels Patel did the same to his advantage. Brathwaite reserved praise for Patel’s bravery. For the execution against the death hitters like Hardik and Pollard.

“What I love is how brave he was. He went for the slower, wide yorker and almost reminded me of Dwayne Bravo three years ago. The way he got the ball to come out of his hand, quick arm speed and then got the ball to dip,” Carlos Brathwaite said.
“Pollard’s wicket was the most beautiful of the three wickets in my opinion. I don’t want to be predictable again, keep the same field, and I am still going to bowl a slower ball, not a wide yorker, and I am going to hit leg stump. You must give Harshal Patel 10 out of 10 for bravery and execution,” Brathwaite said.
Harshal Patel
Lastly, Harshal Patel picked up the wickets of Hardik, Pollard, and Chahar. They off successive deliveries to seal the RCB’s win. This win keeps them in the third spot on the points table. While Mumbai Indians is seventh after three consecutive losses in the IPL 2021.
“If you watch Harshal Patel bowl and especially in the second half, the seam up delivery is rarely bowled by him, he is not a quick bowler. Bravo will, on occasion, bowl the yorker with the seam up straight. He is almost like a spinner with a lot of skills bowling off a very long run-up. On certain kinds of pitches when the team is under pressure.”
