Born on 24th November 1952 in Gujarat, Brijesh Patel was once the 'glamour boy' of Indian cricket. The right-hand batsman scored runs with ease in the domestic circuit and made it to the national team due to his ability to rip apart the best of the bowling attacks.

He scored over 11000 runs in 203 First-class matches. He made his debut against England in 1974 at Manchester and that was where his susceptibility against swing bowling was exposed.

He managed to play 21 Tests and 10 ODIs for India and scored 972 runs in the traditional format and 243 in the shorter format. Brijesh retired from all forms of cricket in the year 1988.
