Parthiv Patel trolls himself, finds food item which is taller than him

Parthiv Patel – India’s pint-sized dynamite

Parthiv Patel, a well-loved member of India’s 2003 World Cup squad, showed his funny side on Twitter on Friday morning – trolling his own height, a matter for much light-hearted ‘analysis’ among India fans. He posed in front a giant dosa, while on Ranji Trophy duty in Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu.

Parthiv is currently playing for Gujarat in the ongoing Ranji Trophy season.

In 2002, the 5’2’’ wicketkeeper became Test cricket's youngest wicketkeeper - at 17 years, 153 days - when he was called up to replace injured Ajay Ratra for the second Test at Trent Bridge against England.

Parthiv had represented India in 20 Tests and 38 ODIs subsequently, coming up with several brave performances. It is his capacity to poke fun at himself and sense of humour which has endeared him with his tweet today:
