When I attack, I don’t have self-doubt: Urvil

Gujarat wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel credits his recent stint with the Chennai Super Kings for a significant boost in his batting confidence. The 28-year-old, who shared a dressing room with M.S.

Dhoni, noted that the veteran's presence provided him with valuable mentorship during the 2026 IPL season. Despite recording the league's joint-fastest half-century against the Lucknow Super Giants, Patel is currently refining his consistency after totaling 129 runs across seven matches.

He is now applying an aggressive approach to his domestic campaign, recently scoring 85 runs off 67 deliveries against Odisha. Patel maintains that his primary focus is on total conviction at the crease, ensuring he remains free of hesitation when choosing to play attacking shots.
