Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) became as the fourth and the final franchise to advance to the play-offs stage in the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League (IPL). The Faf du Plessis-led outfit, who finished the league stage with 16 points, were dependent on Mumbai Indians to help them pass through to the next stage and the latter did exactly the same by defeating Delhi Capitals by five wickets on Saturday evening.
RCB will now take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in play-offs and ahead of the clash the franchise will fret over Harshal Patel’s availability. The seamer had injured himself while playing against Gujarat Titans earlier this week and left the field midway.
However, now Harshal had some good news for the fans, providing an update on his recovery.
“When I caught that ball on short extra cover, I split my webbing on the right hand. I got a couple of stitches which should come off in three to four days,” he was quoted as saying.
“I think I will be ready to be a part of it,” he added on him being available for the play-offs.
