There was a big setback during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), which registered a spectacular victory against Mumbai Indians.
When the team’s fast bowler Harshal Patel was bowling, at the same time an important member of his family died. Because of this he had to be out for some matches.
Harshal left bio bubble
Harshal Patel left the Indian Premier League (IPL) ‘Bio-Bubble’ due to the death of a member of his family. Harshal opted out of the bio-bubble after hearing the news of the death of a family member after the match against Mumbai Indians.
Harshal has been doing well for RCB for the last two seasons, picking up two wickets in the team’s seven-wicket win over Mumbai Indians.
Likely to join before next match
An IPL source said, “Unfortunately, Harshal had to leave the bio-bubble due to the demise of his sister. He did not take a team bus from Pune to Mumbai. He will join Bubble before the next match against Chennai Super Kings on April 12.
This means that they will not have to miss any match. Harshal Patel had bowled tremendously in the last season. The 31-year-old Harshal has played eight T20 Internationals since his debut last year.
Harshal Patel’s sister
According to reports, when the match between Mumbai Indians and RCB was going on, Harshal Patel’s sister Archita Patel passed away.
On hearing this news, he has gone to his house for a day immediately after the match. He will be able to join the team again just after attending his sister’s funeral.
However, due to the quarantine, he may have to stay out of the bio-bubble for three days. Archita Patel was the youngest of three siblings. In such a situation, Harshal Patel was very close to his younger sister.
This is the reason why he left for his house as soon as he heard the news of his sister’s death. Harshal Patel, 31, hails from Sanand in Gujarat. Sanand falls in Ahmedabad district and they left from Pune directly for Ahmedabad
