“My point exactly. He hasn’t translated his international form and reputation to the #IPL. Given the opportunities he’s had across franchisees, his performance has been very underwhelming,” Parthiv wrote while sharing the poll results.

The former Indian wicket-keeper’s take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder did not go well with netizens. One of the users shared a screenshot of another poll where social media users were asked about Patel.

They were asked to choose among: “Great Player of India”, “Great IPL Player” and “None of the Above”. Apparently, 80% of respondents chose “None of the Above”.

He played as on opener for the Mumbai franchise. He was a part of the MI team that won the IPL trophy in 2015.

“he has scored more Half centuries batting down the order for just RCB than you've scored in tour entire IPL Career,” wrote one user.

“He is remarkably well for the present franchise except this season please stop this agenda,” wrote another.

“Obviously maxy achieved and performed more with Australia. This doesn't mean he performed less for RCB. All players are not equal in ipl and international,” posted another.
