Patankar played in India's domestic first-class circuit, featuring in matches organised under the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). As a wicketkeeper, his role combined glovework behind the stumps with contributions in the batting order for his team in the Ranji Trophy, the country's principal domestic competition.
Like many Indian first-class cricketers of his era, Patankar represents the layer of domestic talent that supported the growth of organised cricket in India in the decades following independence, before the sport's later commercial expansion.
