Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Lacking variety, he was less effective in the longest form of the game but was a consummate team man, always ready to fill a role.
Patel was a more than useful batsman to boot, he narrowly missed a ton against England in Christchurch when he was run out for 99.
Interestingly, Kenyan-born Patel began his cricketing career in England, plying his trade for Worcestershire for close to a decade, snaring 357 wickets in addition to scoring 9734 runs. With the English selectors turning a blind eye to his impressive all-round displays Patel migrated to New Zealand in search of greener pastures.
Post retirement from all forms of cricket, Patel took up a coaching position with the New Zealand Under-19 side. He has also worked as a coach for Central Districts.
One of Dipak Patel's products is also a certain Ish Sodhi, who is touted as Daniel Vettori's successor.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Kenyan-born Dipak Patel had the ambition to play Test cricket and he left Worcestershire to emigrate to New Zealand where he could believed greater opportunities lay. Patel, a stylish middle order batsman, had played well for Auckland, and so his graduation to the Test team was eagerly awaited. His batting was held back by a lack of concentration when set, a lack of confidence and a few bad decisions early in his career. And after he was run out for 99 in what would have been his only Test century, his second-string offspin gradually assumed the ascendency, particularly in the limited overs form of the game. In the 1992 World Cup, he was used sensationally as an opening bowler, initially against Australia, in an attempt to counteract the tactic of hitting over the in-field during the first 15 overs. This strategy paid off handsomely, and he was often used in the same role in other matches henceforth. As an offspinner, his bowling was of the slower looping variety, but usually without much turn. Never spectacular at Test level, he nevertheless continued to develop each season.
