IPL 2023: RCB's Harshal Patel REVEALS How he Dealt With Extremities in Life And Career..

  Bangalore: Days ahead of the upcoming season of the IPL, star all-rounder Harshal Patel has opened up about the struggles he had to overcome when his elder sister passed away. Confessing that he used to cry three-four times every day, Patel revealed he was in quarantine then.

While speaking on RCB Podcast Season 2, Harshal revealed how he dealt with extremities in life and career.

"When my sister passed away, I was in grief for a week. She passed away on April 9 (2022). I was in quarantine. I was talking to my niece and nephew and everyone back home. I wanted to go, hug them and cry with them. But we were doing it on the phone, because that was the only option available. Then seven days later, my son was born. So, I kind of went numb for a week, 10 days. I didn't really know what I was feeling - whether I should be happy, whether I should be sad. It would all come in waves.

"There were times when I probably cried three-four times in my room every day. And then I would see my son on FaceTime and, and be extremely joyful. When you have those polar emotions, pulling at you constantly, it can be quite draining," said Harshal.

So, how did he manage to overcome that volatile period in his life and get back to cricket?
