The medium-pacer did not have an ideal start to his IPL 2021 campaign as he overstepped in his very first delivery. He was smashed by a humongous six by Chris Lynn in the very next ball. However, the player showcased exemplary composure under immense pressure and delivered a sensational performance to help his side make a thumping comeback in the game.
Patel conceded just 27 runs from his full quota of four overs and also claimed five important wickets. While the bowler does not have express pace, he often uses his variations to his advantage.
