Another blazing century in SMAT Smashed by Gujarat’s Urvil Patel
Gujarat wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel is in exceptional form during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, recently scoring an unbeaten 115 off just 41 balls against Uttarakhand, marking his second century of the tournament. His explosive innings, which included 11 sixes and eight fours, helped Gujarat secure a swift victory, chasing down a target of 183 in just 13.1 overs. Earlier, he made headlines with a record-breaking 100 off only 28 balls against Tripura, earning him the Player of the Match award.
Gujarat currently leads Group B with five wins from six matches after bouncing back from an opening loss to Baroda. Despite not being picked in the IPL auction, Urvil remains focused on his game. He expressed optimism about his performance, stating, “I am happy that I am playing and taking my game forward.” Hailing from Mehsana, Urvil’s impressive performances showcase his potential as a rising star in Indian cricket, further solidifying his status after being part of the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023.
