Indian fast bowler Harshal Patel was sold to Punjab Kings for Rs. 11.75 crore during the 2024 IPL Auction in Dubai on Tuesday. Harshal had set himself a base price of INR 2 crore but went for almost six times that amount after causing a bidding war among PBKS and Gujarat Giants.
Harshal, who was the highest wicket-taker in the 2021 season, was with Royal Challengers Bangalore for the last three season. Both Ahmedabad and the new venue in Mohali have longer boundaries and Harshal’s death bowling as well as a variety of slower balls, including a deadly slower bouncer, can prove to be effective in both places. This is what is likely to have prompted the interest from the two franchises.
