Urvil Patel Personal Life
Urvil Patel comes from a simple background. He grew up in Mehsana, Gujarat. Not a big cricket center. His father, Mukesh Patel, was very important in his journey. He was a physical training teacher. He was also a university-level sprinter. He wanted to play cricket but could not go far.
So he focused on his son. He trained Urvil with strict discipline. Fitness was a big part of it. He even made him eat chana for strength and stamina. His mother Geeta is a teacher. His sister Tejaswi studies medicine. So the family is education-focused.
Urvil has always shown respect to his father. Even before IPL, he posted messages for him after big performances. Like his first-class century. He has played some crazy innings in domestic cricket. A 28-ball T20 hundred against Tripura. A 41-ball century in Vijay Hazare Trophy. Very aggressive style.
In IPL, after his 13-ball fifty, he showed a note saying “This is for you Papa.” It was about fulfilling his father’s dream. His father once said they were very upset when Urvil was not picked in the IPL auction. They did not even eat for two days. That shows how much it meant to them.
Off the field, Urvil is simple. He likes feeding birds and even ants.
