Gujarat Titans assistant coach Parthiv Patel commended Shubman Gill's exceptional batting and leadership in the IPL 2025. Gill's proactive approach and mentorship of young players have solidified his captaincy presence within the team.

The outstanding T20 performance by Axar Patel has triggered a cricketing debate, with former player Parthiv Patel expressing a preference for Axar over Ravindra Jadeja.

Parthiv Patel is an Indian wicketkeeper-batsman, who has played 65 matches for India across formats. He has also featured in 139 games, in the Indian Premier League (IPL), playing for six teams, with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) being his last.

• Parthiv has been retained because Saha continues to recover from his thigh injury.
• The fourth Test between India and England will be played in Mumbai, starting Thursday.
• India leads the five-Test series, 2-0.

• Parthiv Patel has made a comeback to the Indian Test team after eight years.

• The last time he played a Test match for India was against England back in 2008.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have done this in a canter. All of sudden they look like true contenders to make the playoffs and Kings XI Punjab are running out of steam in the end. Bangalore were clinical in the match and even that is an understatement. They have won by 10 wickets with almost 12 full overs to spare. That will do their net run rate a world of good. The table is wide open now.
