This morning BCCI announced that Parthiv Patel is back in the Indian test team for the ongoing third test against England. Wriddhiman Saha, the team’s wicket keeper strained his thigh and Parthiv Patel was announced as his replacement.
The announcement came about 15 hours after the India squad had been announced with only one change. Gautam Gambhir had been dropped with Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s return bolstering the pace department.
Parthiv become the youngest test wicket keeper back in 2002 and you will be surprised to know that he played his last test match 8 years ago. Sounds surprising I know and as I was surprised to hear about his comeback so do others and as soon as this news broke reactions from all over started coming. So here are some of the best from social media.
