Urvil Patel can play IPL even if he is unsold
The feat that Urvil Patel did on Wednesday, which has never happened in the Indian team’s T20 history until now. He scored a century off just 28 balls in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Tournament. Previously, this record was in the name of Rishabh Pant, who had scored the fastest century in the same tournament in the year 2018. He did this feat in 32 balls. Now Urvil Patel has become the new record holder. Let’s say the world record was not broken. The record of scoring the fastest century in T20 is in the name of Sahil Chauhan. He has scored a century in 27 balls.
No buyer found in IPL auction
The special thing is that earlier Urvil Patel had also given his name for the IPL auction, but he did not find any buyer and was not sold. But now, just two days after the auction, Urvil has achieved a new feat. But now the question is whether Urvil will not be able to play next season of IPL or will there be some way.
Urvil can enter IPL as replacement
So the answer to this question is that Urvil can play IPL. The IPL is still about four months away. Generally, you must have seen that some of the players bought in the IPL auction get injured before the start of the IPL or withdraw their names for some other reason. Talking about last year, Phil Salt went unsold in the auction of IPL 2024. When it was time to start the IPL, Jason Roy withdrew his name and Phil Salt suddenly entered the KKR team. Which had not been sold before. He plays the entire season for his team and plays an important role in making the team champion.
These players also came as replacements.
This is just an example. If we look at it the same way, Delhi Capitals had included Jack Fraser McGurk in the team just before the IPL as a replacement for Lungi Egidi. He became famous by playing IPL. Apart from this, Shamar Joseph was included in LSG in place of Mark Wood, he also came to play as a replacement for his team. We see many such cases in the IPL every year. That means there is a chance of an unsold player playing in IPL.
He has been included in the squad of Gujarat Titans.
Now Urvil Patel has appeared on the radar of IPL teams. He has done such a feat. Prior to this, he has also been included in the Gujarat Titans squad. The special thing is that Urvil Patel is a top-class wicketkeeper and batsman, who is in high demand in IPL. In such a situation, if a player withdraws his name just before the IPL, then the team can include Urvil Patel in their squad. But you will only get its base price i.e. Rs 30 lakh. Apart from this, Urvil has no other way to enter IPL.
