In a high-stakes bidding battle during the IPL 2024 auctions, Harshal Patel found a new home with Punjab Kings, who clinched the deal at a substantial 11.75 crore.
The fierce bidding initially involved Gujarat Titans, but they exited at the 10 crore mark. Subsequently, Lucknow Super Giants entered the fray, but they too bowed out, leaving Punjab Kings to secure the prized acquisition of Harshal Patel.
Just days before the IPL 2024 Auction, Harshal Patel made a significant impact, especially after being released by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Retention Day.
The Haryana speedster, showcasing his prowess, emerged as one of the joint highest wicket-takers in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Patel’s standout performance played a pivotal role in guiding his team to a 30-run victory over Rajasthan in the finals, where he scalped three crucial wickets.
