Source-derived summary

Bhanu Patel (date of birth not known) is a Ugandan former first-class cricketer.

Patel was born in Uganda Protectorate. He made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the East Africa cricket team against the touring Indians at Kampala in 1967. Batting from the tail, he was dismissed in both East African innings without scoring by Sadanand Mohol and B. S. Chandrasekhar. With the ball, he took the wickets of E. A. S. Prasanna and the Nawab of Pataudi to finish with match figures of 2 for 138. Between 1957 and 1970, Patel also played minor matches for Uganda. It was noted in The History of Cricket in Uganda that he "imparted much influence on the popularity of the game" in Uganda.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q110770162. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1967, 1957 and 1970.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
