South Africa vs India 2018: 5 reasons why Parthiv Patel deserves his place in the squad

Competition for Saha

Parthiv Patel's career points at one thing - never make the mistake of considering him a pushover. And there lies the message for Wriddhiman Saha. Saha may be the one with the best glove work in the country at the moment but he must remember the adage, ‘Hard work defeats talent when talent does not work hard’.

Keeping the upcoming string of foreign tours in mind, Patel is a good bet not only to keep Saha on his toes but potentially replace the Bengal keeper in the side.
