Duleep Trophy An Opportunity To Make A Mark: Parthiv Patel

Parthiv Patel,  the skipper of India Green, has said that the Duleep Trophy tournament is a big opportunity for him to stake a claim for a place in the Indian team.

“It’s a big opportunity for everyone to make a mark. I don’t agree with the loyalty issue. Everyone is gunning for a place in the India team and everyone will be looking to give his best performance,” said Patel, a day ahead of the start of the Duleep Trophy.

Parthiv Patel made a comeback in the Indian Test team last year when Wriddhiman Saha got injured ahead of Mohali Test against England. Patel did well in the three Test matches he played but had to make way for Saha as soon as he got fit as selectors decided not to make any change. Patel knocked the doors with an innings of 143* in the Ranji Trophy final, but still,  he was not considered for selection against Bangladesh and Australia.

He is still the second option, in case, Saha sits out due to injury or when India travel to South Africa next year as selectors always announce a backup wicket keeper for the tours outside sub-continent. The upcoming Duleep Trophy is an opportunity for him to make a case for him. Apart from Patel, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh

Apart from Patel, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, and Ishan Kishan are few other wicket-keeper batsmen who will give stiff competition. While Rishabh was part of India A squad for limited overs series in South Africa, Kishan traveled to the country for first-class games. In short, they are too in contention and performance in this tournament can be quite beneficial for them.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Abhinav Mukund will not play the first game of Duleep Trophy due to viral fever. Dinesh Karthik will lead the team in Mukund’s absence.

Prithvi Shaw has replaced Mukund in the side whereas out of favor Varun Aaron has been called in to replace Dhawal Kulkarni. On the other side, India Green team will also miss the services of all-rounder Parvez Rasool.
