Harshal Patel in action for India (PC: Twitter)
Team India failed to defend 208 against Australia in the first T20I as the visitors took home a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Harshal Patel marked his return to the national side through the match after missing the entirety of the 2022 Asia Cup.
Playing his first T20 international since July, the speedster conceded 49 runs off his four wicketless overs. With T20I World Cup just a month away, several questions have been raised regarding the cricketer’s form ahead of the tournament.
