Urvil Patel Suryakumar Yadav: The date of 27th November brought a boost to Urvil Patel's cricket career. Urvil accomplished that feat on a 22-yard pitch, which was recorded in golden letters in the pages of T-20 cricket history. In Indore, Urvil created such havoc with the bat that he became famous in Indian cricket overnight. While playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament, Urvil scored a century in just 28 balls. Urvil also holds the record of scoring the fastest century for India in this format. At the same time, Urvil also became the batsman to score the second fastest century in the shortest format of cricket. An advice from Suryakumar Yadav played an important role in the historic innings from Urvil's bat, which has been revealed by the young batsman himself.

Surya's advice changed the game

While talking to Times of India after playing a stormy century, Urvil Patel said, “I met Surya Bhai during the IPL. I went to him and praised him a lot. He was very happy. He placed his hand on my shoulder and said, let's talk. Surya Bhai gave me a lot of batting tips. He said, “Play boldly, watch the ball, but first watch the bowler and his action. After that observe the bowler's hand and finger movements. Along with this, always be confident. Always back yourself.” Whenever I go to bat, I remember his words. We both play with a similar approach and it doesn't matter who the bowler is.”

The secret behind the stormy century

While talking about his stormy century, Urvil said, “I went to the crease completely normal and was trying to play my natural game. When I saw that some weak balls were coming, I started playing stronger shots. The ball was hitting the bat very well, which gave me confidence. I was having fun and after that I started playing aggressively.” Urvil shattered Rishabh Pant's record by batting explosively. Pant, playing for Delhi, scored a century in 32 balls. Urvil played an unbeaten inning of 113 runs facing 35 balls, due to which Gujarat achieved the target of 156 runs in just 10.2 overs.
