SR Patel
SR Patel is a cricket all-rounder whose career has been built primarily in T20 formats, most the T20 Blast, where he has represented Nottinghamshire as his core domestic side across 108 matches. In 300 career appearances he has scored 4,722 runs and taken 254 wickets, numbers that place him firmly in the category of players who shape matches with both disciplines. His batting average sits at 24.98 and his bowling average at 29.97, with a career economy of 6.6 across all formats. On recent form across the T20 Blast and The Hundred in 2025, Patel has been more of a bowling presence than a batting one, although a 42 from 19 balls against Manchester Originals on 26 August 2025 showed the attacking capacity that makes him a useful lower-to-middle order option.
