Parthiv Ajay Patel (born 9 March 1985) is a former Indian professional cricketer, wicketkeeper-batsman, who played for the Indian national cricket team.[1] He is a left-handed batsman and played for Gujarat in domestic cricket. Having lost a finger at the age of 9, he initially found it hard to keep wickets, but after enough practice, he got used to it.[2] When Parthiv played for the Indian team in 2002, he became the youngest wicket-keeper to represent a country in Tests. He was a part of the Indian squad which won the 2016 Asia Cup.

In December 2020, Patel announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.[3] After his retirement, Patel joined Mumbai Indians as a Talent Scout.[4] He is also now seen as a commentator in the Indian Premier League and International Matches too.
