Harshal Patel is undoubtedly the best bowler in the death overs

During Breakfast with Champions, Harshal Patel revealed some unknown facts about his life

In 2016, Harshal Patel played for Royal Challengers Bangalore

Dan Vettori said, We don't see you playing for the next 4-5 games. We are sending you home, but we will call you back

I remember after 4-5 games when RCB was knocked out and we were not going to qualify. I messaged Vettori, saying give me a game. That was the first time I actually sold myself to anyone

He played in the last match against Delhi Dare Devils and won the man of the match award

At the 2018 auction, there were at least 3-to 4 players from different franchises who said they were going to bid for me. But no one did

At that time, I felt betrayed that I had been cheated. I was just in this spiral of dark thoughts. So I started the process of building my game all over again

The trade by RCB ahead of IPL 2021 was a pivotal moment in my cricket and personal life.

He revealed that he used to suffer from anxiety, especially on match days

I went through a cycle of crippling pre-game anxiety. I would have to go and pee probably once every two minutes, right from when I wake up on game day to the moment where I bowl the first ball

He learned to speak English while working at a perfume store in USA

I got my education in T20 bowling from Zaheer Khan

He is a big Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan fan
