Jasubhai Motibhai Patel pronunciationⓘ (26 November 1924 – 12 December 1992) was an off-spinner who played Test cricket for India.

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 came in at 167 for 8 in the second innings and hit 152 in two hours, adding 136 in 90 minutes for the tenth wicket with Hasan Nakhuda.

Patel got his first wicket on the second morning when he caught Gavin Stevens left-handed off an attempted big hit.

Till that point of time, Patel had bowled from the city end, where he had not been able to exploit the footmarks created by the left arm bowlers Alan Davidson and Ian Meckiff.

Norman O'Neill who replaced him was all at sea and offered an easy chance to Bapu Nadkarni at midwicket, who missed it.

Patel dismissed Stevens, and Polly Umrigar took the important wicket of Harvey before the close of the fourth day.

Patel's 14 for 124 remained the best Test bowling figures by an Indian bowler for nearly thirty years until they were bettered by Narendra Hirwani.

Patel's 9 for 69 stood as the best bowling in a Test innings by an Indian bowler till Anil Kumble took 10 for 74 forty years later.

Patel played two more years of first-class cricket and ended up with 140 wickets for Gujarat in the Ranji Trophy.
