IND vs SA / Team India got this world class bowler, expert in throwing many types of deadly balls

IND vs SA: Indian pacer Harshal Patel does not have the pace of Umran Malik and believes that he has to continuously develop the 'variety' of his game to prolong his international career. Harshal, who debuted for India after the T20 World Cup in November last year, has taken 17 wickets in 11 matches at an average of 19.52 in more than 6 months in international cricket.

Harshal's masterplan

Slower pitches are more suited to Harshal's bowling style, as was evident in the last two matches against South Africa, while he proved costly in the first match at the Ferozeshah Kotla. Harshal said on the eve of the fourth T20 against South Africa, "To be honest, for the last two years (in IPL) people are trying to understand how I am trying to bowl. The more the opponents play the bowler, the more they will realize what is the strong side of the bowler and the way of bowling.

store of plans

He said, 'My job as a bowler is to be a step ahead of him. You can have 15 types of plans, but if you are not able to execute the plan with confidence on the field in case of pressure on a given day, then all things will not be in your favor.' Harshal said, 'This is my focus. The point is that I can bowl the best possible ball at that time in the match.

amazing with diversity

The fast bowler has troubled the opposition batsmen a lot with his variety of bowling and he said that he needs to develop it continuously. "I don't worry about pace because I can't bowl as fast as Umran Malik. I have to develop skills to make myself effective at international level. I have never been a storm bowler but I can reach around 140 kmph.

Harshal said, 'My focus is always on developing my bowling skills and during this time I focus on the strong and weak sides of my bowling.'
