Rakep Patel (Gujarati: રાકેપ પટેલ) (born 12 July 1989) is a Kenyan international cricketer. A product of the Nairobi Gymkhana Club, he is primarily a batsman who plays right-handed, but also occasionally bowls off spin.[1]
Domestic career
He made his lone performance for the Kenya Select team in their inaugural season, and found himself called up to the national squad for their tour of Europe, including a tour of the Netherlands and the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.
He has the joint record along with Dawid Malan for scoring the highest ever T20 score when batting at number 6 position (103).[2]
In January 2018, he was named as captain of Kenya's squad for the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two tournament.[3] However, Kenya finished in sixth and last place in the tournament and were relegated to Division Three.[4] As a result, Patel resigned as captain of the Kenyan team.[5]
In September 2018, he was named in Kenya's squad for the 2018 Africa T20 Cup.[6]
