My doubt is how to create patch file which contains the modifications only i.e lines with "+" only why because for example initially if a file contains 1000 rows.
It's showing the first 3 lines and the last line because of "context" - when the patch is finally applied, the change may not apply at line 4, due to *other* patches having added/deleted lines. Usually git will display 3 lines either side of the changed line. Go ahead, create a 25 line patch, and change line 15, and see what the diff shows then.
