Harshal Patel was once again on fire during Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB's) eliminator match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Monday as he picked up two more wickets.

Harshal dismissed Shubman Gill in the last over of the powerplay before picking up the wicket of Venkatesh Iyer in the last ball of the eleventh over. Iyer's wicket helped the in-form RCB bowler to equal Dwayne Bravo's record of picking up the most wickets in an IPL season (32). Bravo picked up 32 wickets in the 2013 edition of IPL for the Chennai Super Kings.
