Urvil Patel

Imagine a star player on a cricket team! That's Urvil Patel. He's a super-talented cricketer from India. He's a batsman, which means he hits the ball, and a wicketkeeper, who catches the ball behind the batter. He plays for two big teams: Gujarat in regular games and the Chennai Super Kings in the super exciting Indian Premier League (IPL)!

Urvil Patel comes from a small village called Kahipur in Gujarat, India. It's like going from your backyard to a giant playground! He started playing cricket when he was young and got really good. He first played a big game in 2018. Now, he plays in front of thousands of cheering fans, which is way more people than at your school!

Get ready for a WOW fact! Urvil Patel once hit a century (that's 100 runs!) super, super fast. It was the fastest century ever in a big cricket game called the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He did it in November 2024. Imagine how quickly he must have swung his bat! It’s like running the fastest lap at school in record time!

Urvil Patel got a special chance to play for the famous Chennai Super Kings team. He was chosen to play in the IPL in 2025. He even made his debut game and scored 31 runs in just 11 balls! That's like scoring a touchdown in American football in less than a minute. He's a real cricket star!
