About Jasu Patel
Jasubhai Motibhai Patel (26 November 1924 – 12 December 1992) was an off-spinner who played Test cricket for India. == Early days == At the age of ten, Patel broke his arm falling from a tree. Because of this injury he had a jerky bowling action, which some considered suspicious. He bowled off-cutters more than conventional off breaks. He was particularly dangerous on matting wickets where he got prodigious turn. He began his first-class career in 1943–44, and played occasionally for Gujarat before establishing his place in the 1950–51 season, when he took 5 for 43 and 6 for 61 against Baroda, and 8 for 53 and 5 for 28 against Services. His batting was usually negligible, but in the Ranji Trophy final in 1950–51 against Holkar, he scored 152 batting at No.10 in the fourth innings. Patel came in at 167 for 8 and scored his runs out of the last 191 runs in two hours, adding 136 in 90 minutes for the tenth wicket with Hasan Nakhuda. It is still the second highest score by a No.10 batter in first class cricket. It was his only century.
