In Royal Challengers Bangalore’s seven-run win over Rajasthan Royals here on Sunday, pacer Harshal Patel was used as an Impact Player as he was unable to bat due to an injury and came in during bowling innings when Faf du Plessis, did not feature as a fielder.

 “The way we’ve been able to use Faf as a batter and myself as a bowler in this game has been really good for us,” Harshal said.
