After equaling the record for most wickets in a single Indian Premier League season, Harshal Patel Harshal Patel made his dream international debut, returning with figures of 2\/25 to star in India’s 7-wicket series-deciding win over New Zealand on Friday in Ranchi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patel’s efforts saw New Zealand struggle to score runs in the death overs and put 153\/6 in 20 overs on the board. He was also named man of the match for his performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, his dream debut coincided with de Villiers retirement announcement from all forms of cricket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr 360 degree played 156 matches for RCB and scored 4,491 runs. He is the second all-time leading run-scorer behind Kohli. He had retired from international cricket in 2018, after scoring 1672 runs in 78 T20Is, 9577 runs in 228 ODI matches and 8765 runs in 114 Tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On his International debut, Patel said he has been a silent admirer of AB de Villiers and the former South African batter has had a massive impact on the fast bowler’s career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patel also said de Villiers, with whom he shared a dressing room this season at Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League, told him how to reduce the number of big overs he tends to have. If the batter hits good deliveries, make sure the bowler doesn’t change the way he bowls, Patel said after India defeated New Zealand in the second T20I in Ranchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 32 wickets in 15 matches in the last edition of IPL, Patel joined most wicket taker in a single edition of IPL alongside former West Indies cricketer Dwayne Bravo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
