Batting is not a problem for Parthiv. He proved this in past when he opened the inning in Pakistan against S.Akhtar & M.Sami and made Half Century. In Australia 2003 his batting performance was very good against best bowling attack in the world (B.Lee., J.Gillepie, G.Macgrath). In first class matches he has made some big scores (more than 150) with almost 80 strike rate. D.Karthik has got many chances, he is big flop.
