All the news updates from IPL 2022
In what will be a lift for Royal Challengers Bangalore, they should have their designated death bowler Harshal Patel fit to play the playoffs, should they qualify. Harshal had bowled just one over and gone off injured in their previous game, against Gujarat Titans, on May 19. Speaking to RCB's Bold Diaires, Harshal said: "When I got that ball at short extra cover I split my webbing on my right hand and I got a couple of stitches, which should come off in three to four days. So, if we do make it to the playoffs I think I will be be ready (to play)."
Despite winning big in that game against Titans, Royal Challengers need Delhi Capitals to lose their final league fixture to Mumbai Indians to qualify for the playoffs. Capitals and Mumbai face off on May 21 at the Wankhede Stadium.
