IPL 2021: Aakash Chopra says “Don’t play Harshal Patel” ahead of the UAE leg

IPL 2021: However, With less than a week to go for the resumption of the IPL 2021 season within the UAE. Cricketer-turned-broadcaster Aakash Chopra has presented six key points to keep in mind for all the franchises.

Aakash Chopra proposed the groups seek ‘proper’ fast-bowlers with express pace. Chopra said players like current Purple Cap holder Harshal Patel. Those who see to deceive opponents with slower ones haven’t been generally valuable. Within the UAE and that the drift is likely to proceed in IPL 2021.

“Play fast bowlers with speeds of over 137-140 kph, don’t go for medium pacers. Fast bowlers with speeds above 140 kph have enjoyed a better average, economy rate, and strike rate than the slower ones. This means the pitches are helping the bowlers with pace. So I’ll say don’t play Harshal (Patel) and instead go with Navdeep and Siraj who have pace. Play (Josh) Hazlewood over (DJ) Bravo and go for proper fast bowlers over those who swing the ball,” he said

The former opener at that point exhorted the groups to see to bat first on the off chance that they win the toss. He reviewed how everybody expected chasing to be the winning mantra in IPL 2020. But it never succeeded in spite of desperate attempts from all teams.

“Win the toss and bat first. If you look at the last IPL, teams kept on fielding first and losing badly; rinse and repeat. History said it was the best formula to succeed so they kept trying. But it never happened and by the time they realized it, the pitches had started to change again,” added Aakash Chopra.

In his third proposal, Aakash Chopra said the groups ought to see to play as it were those spinners who are faster within the discussion, with the likes of Varun Chakravarthy, Rashid Khan, and Rahul Chahar being cases in point.

IPL 2021 is the second time the extravagant alliance is being played within the UAE. Final season, new wickets in Sharjah, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi were bouncy and conducive to pacers but moreover had a few squirm room for leg-spinners. This implied that all of the top-10 wicket-takers were either speedsters or speedy leggies.
