IPL 2023: Flop XI from sixth week
With IPL 2023 reaching its final stages, we look at 11 such players who failed to deliver in the sixth week of the tournament.
10. Harshal Patel(RCB)
RCB required their bowling unit to step up in the final stages of the league games in IPL but this year too the story hasn't been too different from how they have performed in the death overs in the earlier editions. They have leaked runs at crucial junctions of the games they have played to put RCB in the tricky situation that they currently find themselves in.
Harshal Patel also has been unable to contribute significantly with his bowling spells and has been on the expensive side. The bowler has struggled to deceive batsmen with his slower balls and has found it tough to contain batters from hitting freely against him.
Harshal Patel was part of both the matches RCB played in the sixth week and returned with figures of 2-0-32-1 in the match against DC, and 3.3-0-41-0 against Mumbai. In the combined overs he has bowled in the two matches, Harshal Patel has been very expensive and has leaked 73 runs in just 5.3 overs, picking up just a solitary wicket.
