Parthiv Patel, a player for the Indian national cricket team, was born on March 09, 1985. He batted and served as the wicketkeeper. He batted left-handed for Gujarat when he played domestic cricket. When Indian cricket searched for a long-term wicketkeeper in the post-Mongia period in the early 2000s, Sourav Ganguly and company spotted a baby-faced Parthiv Patel, who appeared to be under 15 and gave him the responsibility of wicketkeeping in the Indian Test team. Ajay Ratra’s injury allowed Parthiv to go on the 2002 England tour.
At Trent Bridge, Parthiv set a new record for the youngest wicketkeeper in Test cricket when he was granted Indian Test cap number 244 at 17 and 153 days. In time for the third Test against England in Mohali, Parthiv has been recalled to the Indian Test squad thanks to his solid domestic performance. He filled in for the injured Saha. A more seasoned Parthiv seized the chance, and he contributed to India’s victory by blasting two half-centuries, the second of which came at a rate faster than a run-a-ball. Under a fidgety captain in Kohli, Parthiv made a remarkable recovery, but he has since faded and is now serving as the team’s standard backup.
