Hiral Patel is an aggressive and free-scoring batsman. He has been moved up and down the order, but Canada are inclined to use him as an opening batsman at the World Cup. Patel's range of strokes is limited, but he plays them with complete conviction, appearing to not concern himself too much with how the field has been set. When it works it can be spectacular, but there is always the danger that Patel's innings won't amount to too much more than giving catching practice to the fielder stationed at deep third man.
Strengths
Patel likes to deal in boundaries and when settled at the crease will unfurl them in a hurry.

Expert view
"Hiral loves to play the cut over third man. It's his favourite shot, but he needs to be careful though about when he plays it" - Sunil Dhaniram, former Canada captain
