H V Patel has quietly become one of the IPL’s most lethal pace merchants, amassing 151 wickets in 116 innings across 13 seasons. Operating at a strike-rate of 16.05 balls per scalp and an economy of 8.86, he has delivered 16 three-wicket bursts and one five-for, peaking with a best of 5-wicket haul. The right-arm quick began his journey with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2012, spending eight campaigns there before stints with Delhi Capitals (2018-2020) and Punjab Kings (2024). Ahead of IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad secured his services, banking on his proven match-winning ability. While primarily a bowler, Patel has chipped in with 270 runs from 229 balls, clearing the ropes 15 times and finding the fence 16 times at a brisk strike-rate of 117. His highest score of 36 highlights his capacity to swing momentum with the bat when required, though his true value remains in dismantling batting orders.
