‌IPL 2024 | Twitter laughs at clueless Harshal blaming nature for dropped sitter

The Delhi Capitals got off to a flying start inside the powerplay on the tournament’s curtain-raiser as David Warner, Mitch Marsh, and Shai Hope set the tone for them. The middle order tried to capitalize on it with a dropped catch from Harshal helping the visitors in the process. 

On the second ball of the 12th over, Rahul Chahar bowled a half-tracker to Rishabh Pant at the off stump that the latter pulled towards the widish deep square leg region. Harshal Patel fielding at the long hop region sprinted towards the ball but failed to grasp the white rock despite being in its reach. However, the interesting aspect was when the 33-year-old seemed to blame the sun-rays for intervening in his path, regardless of wearing a sunglass. The Twitterverse found it funny from Harshal who tried to lay the blame on nature for dropping a sitter.

More motivated

Yes, Harshal Patel looks more motivated and is bowling well. It seems like he has worked on his bowling. This ground with its long boundaries will be well-suited for him. I'm so happy, my brother made sure Pant didn't strain himself too much in the hot sun.

Perfect Answer

Saw many trolling Harshal Patel when said 2 bouncers in an over is really huge advantage for bowlers. He got David Warner today with his slower bouncer only. Perfect answer from Patel!
