Urvil Patel hits first first-class double century against Kerala in Ranji Trophy

Urvil Patel has delivered a magnificent performance by hitting his first first-class double century in the Ranji Trophy match being played between Gujarat and Kerala. In this match played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Urvil scored 210 runs in just 227 balls. Due to this brilliant innings, the Gujarat team succeeded in securing a victory against Kerala by 64 runs.

In this innings, Urvil played extremely aggressively, attacking the Kerala bowlers. Ahead of the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) tournament, Urvil has proved his form through this performance. In this match, Urvil's innings was the main pillar of Gujarat's large total, from which the Kerala team could never recover.

Speaking about his success, Urvil Patel said, "This was my first double century in first-class cricket and I am glad it came for a winning cause. I have always been an aggressive batter and I love to play my shots. When I came to the crease, we were in trouble, but I did not want the bowlers to dominate me, so I decided to attack. Building a partnership was important and Vishlesh played very beautifully."

Urvil further added that Kerala's spinners were coming into a good rhythm, so he decided to take risks against Aditya Sarwate. He stated that he did not want to bat again on this pitch, so it was necessary to make a big score and continuing to bat until the end was important for him. This is a good win and he wants to maintain this form in the SMAT as well to help his team win the tournament.

Urvil Patel had previously demonstrated his aggressive batting capability for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL as well.
