Meanwhile, in the third T20I Harshal Patel showed his batting skills by smashing 18 runs off just 11 balls including two fours and one maximum at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

In the first ball of the 19th over Harshal smashed a beautiful six to Lockie Ferguson who is considered as one of the fastest bowlers in world cricket.

Meanwhile, in the third ball of the over Harshal Patel tried to play the cut shot, and he ended up smashing the bails. Notably, the delivery was slightly wide outside off and Harshal went too deep in the crease and eventually lost his wicket.
