Player: | PA Patel |
DateLine: 7th May 2009
Parthiv Patel became Test cricket's youngest wicketkeeper - at 17 years, 153 days - when called up to replace the injured Ajay Ratra for the second Test at Trent Bridge. He scored a gutsy, unbeaten 19 which helped stave off an Indian defeat. Parthivl's glovework has been ordinary but then struggled especially when standing up to the spinners. His ability with the bat ensured that he got an extended run. However, sloppy work behind the stumps continued and the selectors' patience finally ran out after the third Test of the home series against Australia, when he was replaced by Dinesh Karthik. Parthiv's form took a turn for the better in 2007, on a twin tour of Zimbabwe and Harare for India A, where he hit three hundreds and a half-century. In 2008, his efforts were rewarded with a call-up to the squad for the Test-series in Sri Lanka.
