He is a wicket-keeper batsman who can play the role of an opening batsman. He is an aggressive batsman who can anchor the chase as well as rotate the strike constantly.
His IPL stats are not staggering but he can be very unpredictable. Out of the 124 games he has played, he has scored 2442 runs at an average of 22. He cannot fetch the big scores the team wants but can get the team off to a flying start.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore had roped in Patel as a stand-in wicket-keeper for de Kock. Over time, the opener has sealed his spot in the XI replacing de Kock as an opener as well as a wicket-keeper.
Buying Parthiv Patel for 1.7 crores has paid dividends for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
