About Parthiv Patel
Parthiv Patel made history as the youngest wicketkeeper ever to play Test cricket when he debuted for India in 2002 at just 17. Born in Ahmedabad in 1985, he lost a finger in an accident at the age of six, which made wicketkeeping difficult at first, but he practised relentlessly and turned himself into an international keeper. A feisty left-handed batter, he went on to captain Gujarat to its first Ranji Trophy title.
Career highlights
Parthiv’s Test debut in England in 2002 set a record for the youngest Test wicketkeeper. Though he faced stiff competition for the gloves throughout his career, he played Tests, ODIs and T20Is for India and was part of the squad that won the 2016 Asia Cup.
In domestic cricket he led Gujarat to the 2016–17 Ranji Trophy title, scoring a century in the final. In the IPL he won titles with several franchises. He retired in December 2020, joined Mumbai Indians as a talent scout, became a well-known commentator, and in 2024 was appointed assistant and batting coach of Gujarat Titans.
