Ansh Patel, a left-arm wrist spinner of Indian origin, played a key role for Canada in their T20 World Cup 2026 match against South Africa by taking three important wickets—Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, and Dewald Brevis. Patel, who previously played domestic cricket for Baroda and was part of the Punjab Kings IPL squad, moved to Canada following regulatory changes in Indian cricket.
