Most wickets in death overs (16-20) in IPL 2024 16 - Harshal Patel 11 - Jasprit Bumrah 9 - Arshdeep Singh 9 - Mukesh Kumar 9 - T Natarajan 9 - Tushar Deshpande
Harshal Patel: (On purple cap) Has been a see-saw. Keeps going away from me. (On Bumrah) He is someone who I see as a competitor, I aspire to be as good as him. (On his dipping slower delivery) It is a difficult delivery to execute but once you start executing, it gives you a lot of confidence. If the batter doesn’t pick it, then it increases your chance of getting a wicket. I’ve been bowling it for almost five years now. In the last year and a half, I wasn’t able to execute it consistently so I didn't try it in the first half of the IPL. It gives me so many options at the death, the batters are ready for that slower one and I can sneak in a yorker or a quick length ball. And when you get the batters out, they can’t get that acceleration at the death. They are probably 10-15 below par, I think we bowled really well after the powerplay. Hopefully we can play some sensible cricket and chase this down.
