Twitter reacts after Harshal Patel becomes highest wicket-taker among Indians in a single seasonHarshal Patel's golden run of form with the ball continued as he picked up three wickets against SRH. He played a crucial role in restricting them to 141/7 on a two-paced wicket. Courtesy of his three wickets in this game, Patel's tally in the IPL 2021 now stands at 29. This is the highest for any Indian bowler in a single season. Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah picked up 27 wickets last year, but Harshal Patel overtook him and set a new record this year.Only Dwayne Bravo (32) and Kagiso Rabada (30) have taken more wickets than the RCB bowler in a single edition of the IPL so far. The RCB team still have a couple more matches left in the season at least. This means that Harshal Patel has a good chance of usurping the duo to secure the top slot on this list.The Twitterati was delighted to witness consistent performances from Harshal Patel this season and took to Twitter to heap praise on him.

He asserted that the RCB skipper is playing his role of anchor to perfection in the team.Speaking to ESPNcricinfo ahead of the RCB's clash against SRH, Gautam Gambhir reviewed the performance of the RCB batting line-up and said:"Strike-rates are very overrated. You can expect Kohli to have a 600-run season but you can't expect that from Maxwell, and you can never have Maxwell batting at a [strike rate of] 120-125 and expect Kohli to be batting on 160. So both of them are different and it's a combination of everyone that makes a successful side."He continued:"It depends on the wicket and I believe the reason is Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers. He feels that those two guys can accelerate and he can play an anchor role in the second half, which he has done really well. That's probably why he prefers to open the batting, get momentum in the first six overs and then continue batting while someone else from the other end can accelerate. "
