Harshal gets back to being his old self

Chennai Super Kings 167/9 win Punjab Kings 139/9

181 runs. That's how many runs Harshal Patel gave away in his first four games of the season. 181 runs. That's how many runs Harshal has given away in his last seven games of the season. He's also taken 13 wickets in the process. He's become a transformed bowler - or so it seems. In reality, however, a death overs specialist runs the risk of such a split. It's the difference between executing what you want perfectly and missing the mark by a few inches. Harshal took two of his three wickets with slow, sharp-edged yorkers. One was MS Dhoni for a first-ball duck. He talked about how he doesn't rely on technique as much as feel, which is why he wasn't at his best at the start of the season; he was rusty. But with the overs under his belt, he has got better and better.
