Parthiv Patel:
Parthiv Patel can unarguably put in the category of the ‘unfortunate talented’ cricketer who missed out a great chunk of their international career due to the presence another star player overshadowing their presence. It’s a well – known fact that the Gujarat wicket keeper made his debut as a teenager aged just 17 year old. A long, eventful career seemed to be awaiting the baby faced cricketer. But, what unfolded in his career were completely contrasting to the predictions. He has played in only 40 limited overs matches (38 ODIs and 2 T20Is). His IPL stats, however, are very significant and speak a very different story. The 29 year old, who currently plays for Mumbai Indians, played for a number of franchise since the inaugural season and has 103 IPL games under his belt.
