Parthiv Ajay Patel About this sound pronunciation (help·info) (born 9 March 1985 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat) is an Indian cricketer, wicketkeeper-batsman, and former member of the Indian national cricket team. He is a left-handed batsman and is of a very short stature at 160 cm.
ODI career

Patel made his ODI debut against New Zealand in January 2003.[1] He was selected in the Indian squad for the 2003 Cricket World Cup but did not play any games, with Rahul Dravid being used as a make-shift wicket-keeper to allow the use of an extra batsman or bowler. With this policy in place, Patel only made intermittent appearances in ODIs, usually when Dravid was injured or being rested (in full or from wicket-keeping duties). He played 13 ODIs in a two year span, and during an interrupted career managed only an average of 14.66 and a top-score of 28. After many heartbreaks Parthiv returned to the Indian team in 2010 in the 4th and 5th Odi vs New Zealand. He celebrated this moment by hitting two back to back half centuries.Later on he was called up for replacing injured Sachin Tendulkar in India tour south africa .
IPL

Patel was auctioned in the inaugural IPL to Chennai Super Kings. He is a regular in the team and opens with former Australian opener Matthew Hayden. He does not keep as Indian wicket-keeper and captain MS Dhoni is in the team. For the fourth season he was signed by Kochi Tuskers Kerala. On 16 May, it was announced that Parthiv will be leading the Kochi Tuskers Kerala for the rest of the IPL 2011 season .[3]
West Indies Tour of 2011

With wicket-keeper captain MS Dhoni rested for the tour along with several seniors such as Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan, he was entrusted with the job of wicket-keeping in the tour along with Wriddhiman Saha. In the lone T20I match played in the tour, he made his T20I debut at the Queen's Park Oval at Port-of-Spain. He opened the batting along with another left-handed debutante Shikhar Dhawan and made a 26 from 20 balls (2 fours, 1 six).In the 2nd ODI against West Indies he made 56 not out that is his best figure so far but was not given a chance in any of the tests.
