Representing the nation in any sport is a dream for all the players. However, the journey to make it to the national side isn’t a cakewalk. With the high level of competition, not everyone is able to crack the code of playing for the nation.

Despite the heroics in the Under-19 cricket, some players couldn’t make it to the highest level owing to immense competition in India. Thus, one has heard of a few players who have shifted elsewhere to play cricket. Smit Patel is one such name that comes to the fore in this scenario. Smit Patel’s career has witnessed a lot of uncertainties.

Patel exuded his flair in 2012 Under-19 World Cup to fashion India’s victory in the final. However, as Parthiv Patel remained the first choice keeper-batter of the Gujarat side, Smit had to stay in the reserves for quite a period of time. He thus featured for Tripura, Goa, and Baroda in the Ranji Trophy in search of more opportunities.

Smit Patel who is still young and has a long way ahead of him, took the decision to shift to the USA to play cricket there. He ended his stint with Indian cricket after having scored 3278 first-class runs in 55 games at an average of 39.49. This includes 11 centuries and 14 half-centuries. He also played in 43 List A matches and 28 T20s, scoring 1234 and 708 runs, in the two formats respectively.

In an exclusive interview with CricTracker, Smit Patel spoke about his call to shift to the USA, revealed his favorite IPL franchise and a lot of other aspects.

CricTracker caught up with Smit Patel for a rapid-fire chit-chat.
