Parthiv Patel is such a great person that he never looks down on people

because of his height .

Parthiv Patel made his Test debut in 2002 v Eng as a 17-yr-old. That was the time when India capt Virat Kohli was playing U-14 for Delhi 😶😑

Parthiv Patel makes a comeback. Apparently, he now has a test career spanning over 14 years, longer than that of Sourav Ganguly #IndvEng

Parthiv Patel back in the Test squad after 8 years!!

That is enough motivation for you to start your day. Nothing is impossible.

Parthiv Patel recalled in Indian team because small notes are in trend.

ATM is out of service.
Don't worry, we have Micro ATM.

Saha is out of service.
Don't worry, we have Parthiv Patel.

Anil Kumble running the team. Parthiv Patel keeping wickets. We are back in 2008. Can we get Sachin Tendulkar to bat at no.4 too?!

Why Parthiv Patel when Rishab Pant is in such good form ? Rishabh's last 6 inning scores-117, 135 ,60 ,24 ,308 ,146 (790 runs) 🤔

Parthiv Patel 20 Tests
7 in 2002
5 in 2003
7 in 2004
1 in 2008#IndvEng

This is why malayalis hate cricket. A young talent like Sanju Samson is overlooked in place of aging Parthiv Patel.

Parthiv Patel made his debut while some of us were still in school.

He makes a comeback today and he's JUST 31.

Parthiv Patel back in the Test squad after 8 years. Why was Rishabh Pant not given a chance? Modiji must answer.
— Arvind Kejriwal (@TroluKejri) November 23, 2016

Hardik Patel got chance in India team then Urjit Patel became RBI gov. Now Parthiv Patel returns to Team.This is Modi's conspiracy~ Kejriwal
