Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Patel made his T20I debut against Scotland in August 2008 and his ODI debut against Netherlands in the same month. He had to pull out of the Intercontinental Cup game against Canada in 2009 when his father passed away and the then captain Maurice Odumbe dedicated the team's win to Patel's father. Just a few months later, in a 50-over game against Uganda, Patel cracked an aggressive 71 in just 29 deliveries leading Kenya to a brilliant win.
Patel came into limelight when he smashed a fantastic 92 that set up Kenya's 6-wicket win over Netherlands in February 2010. Since then, he has been an integral part of the Kenyan squad.
When Collins Obuya had an altercation with a team-mate in late 2013 and was banned for a couple of game, Rakep Patel captained the side. Upon Obuya's resignation in December 2013, Patel was officially named as the captain by Cricket Kenya.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
One of Kenyan cricket's clutch of promising youngsters, Rakep Patel is an aggressive right-handed batsman and occasional offspinner. Patel's first outing for Kenya came on his first-class debut, aged 17, for Kenya Select XI against Westerns in Zimbabwe's Logan Cup competition. Patel started his career in the lower middle order, but has since moved up the order and his best ODI performance to date came as an opener when he cracked 92 to help seal a six-wicket win over Netherlands in Nairobi in February 2010. He had to pull out of Kenya's squad for their Intercontinental Cup game against Canada in August 2009 when his father passed away, and captain Maurice Ouma dedicated the victory in that game "to my team-mate's dad". Unafraid to play his shots when the situation warrants, Patel smashed 71 from just 29 balls, including eight sixes, in a 50-over match against Uganda in December 2009. But he is also developing as a batsman in the longer forms of the game, and his 87 helped Kenya chase down a target of 320 in their second innings in an Intercontinental Cup game against Netherlands in February 2010. As Kenya look to rebuild after a turbulent period and re-assert their status as the leading Associate nation, Patel could be an important part of their plans.
