Urvil Patel, the Gujarat ticket office drummer, was one of the most anticipated players before the start of the IPL auction from last year, especially after hitting two magnificent centuries playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy.
Despite the high level of performance in the domestic tournament, he found no buyer on the auction table. However, although he was not initially chosen, he received a late call from two major IPL franchises.
Patel, which finally signed with the Super Kings of Chennai, revealed that it had been called for the first time by the Royal Challengers Bangalore, the champions of the IPL 2025 edition.

Mayank Agarwal finally replaced Devdutt Padikkal in the RCB side which won the IPL 2025 title.
Bhai CSK ne to ekdum dhoka diya RCB ko! Urvil Patel ka tactics bilkul galat tha. Spirit of game kaha gaya? IPL ab sirf paisa aur dirty politics ban gaya hai yaar.
I think both team played well but CSK strategy was more better. Urvil timing was perfect and he know how to handle pressure situation. RCB need to improve there game plan for next match.
Lol cheap tactics? Bhai ye to normal strategy hai cricket me. RCB fans always crying when they loose. Get over it guys! 😂
Finally someone talking about this! Urvil ka performance was outstanding but tactics questionable hai. Cricket me ethics bhi important hai naa?
Great knock by Urvil! 43 runs of just 19 balls is fantasic. Yes some tactics was aggresive but thats modern cricket hai bhai. RCB bowling was also very weak yesterday.
CSK hamesha se aisa hi team hai boss. Remember 2013 spot fixing? Leo ye log change nahi hote. ICC ko action lena chahiye abhi.
Cheap tactics lol 🤣🤣 Next time RCB will say opposition breathing is also cheap tactic. Bhai match hara to excuse mat dhundo!
Waah waah! Kitna ‘cheap’ tactics tha ki RCB ke players samajh hi nahi paye 😄 Maybe RCB ko bhi kuch sikna chahiye CSK se instead of complaning all the time no?
