7. PARTHIV PATEL
Parthiv Patel donned the wicket-keeping gloves for India in an era sandwiched between two great gloves-men, Nayan Mongia and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Patel was an acrobatic keeper as he took some spectacular catches behind the stumps.
Patel though small in stature had a heart of a lion. The baby-faced wicket-keeper batsman was a pocket dynamite as he could score runs off quality bowling on some really tough tracks.
