India's 2003 World Cup Squad: Where Are They Now?

#14 Parthiv Patel

17-year-old Parthiv Patel was included in the squad as a specialist wicket-keeper but did not get a game under his belt as Rahul Dravid stood behind the stumps for the entire duration of the tournament. He made history when he became India’s youngest debutant in 2002 against England at Trent Bridge.

He did not enjoy too much success with the Indian side, due to which he was replaced by MS Dhoni in 2004, and the rest is history.

Parthiv Patel made a comeback to the Indian Test side against England in November after Wriddhiman Saha injured himself. As captain of the Gujarat state team, he won the Ranji Trophy this year.
