Remember the name. Harshal Patel(4/17). At least the Mumbai Indi-ans are not going to forget it in a hurry. For the second time this season, the seamer turned out to be the gamechanger for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Mumbai Indians. In the first leg of the competition in India, Harshal had returned 5/27 against the defending champions. On Sunday night at the Dubai International Stadium, the 30-year-old from Haryana turned up the heat with an awe-inspiring hat-trick, the third by a RCB bowler, to propel his team to a comprehensive 55run win. Chasing RCB’s 165/6, Mumbai Indians were bowled out for a paltry 111 in 18.1 overs.
Skipper Virat Kohli would be a pleased man with his bowling unit, which put the team back on track and dealt a telling blow to Mumbai’s march into the play-offs.
