Career

edit

He played for the UAE in the 2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament, making his One Day International (ODI) debut in the final in New Zealand against Scotland at Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln.

Patil was among six players making their ODI debut. He impressed with a run-a-ball 99. He was dropped off the penultimate ball and needed two off the final delivery of the chase to reach a memorable century but could only edge to midwicket for a single. Patil became the second player to score 99 on ODI debut after Eoin Morgan. Patil also set the record for becoming the first cricketer to be unbeaten on 99 on ODI debut.[2]

In March 2014, he made his T20I debut against Netherlands in Sylhet Stadium in ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh. He scored 23 runs off 28 balls before being dismissed by Tom Cooper.
