It is very well known that Parthiv Patel came into the Indian playing side due to political influence from the Gujarat lobby...
When you have a player of the calibre of M S Dhoni as a captain, a great batsman and a splendid wicket keeper... you simply DO NOT need babies like Parthiv in the Indian side... He has already made his crores without a reliable performance to his belt (a lot of others in the Indian side also have this distinction)....
It is time for the media to stop hyping up Parthiv Patel on the behest of the Gujarat politicians... Dhoni cannot be replaced in the Indian side and when the entire world has sat up and noticed the Dhoni charisma.... it is simply STUPID to even suggest Parthiv as a replacement of M S Dhoni....
But as they say..."Cricket me kuch bhi ho sakta he.... Aur Indian cricket me to sab kuch ho sakta he...!!!!"
Parthiv I sympathise with you but its pity borne out of humor at the way you are hyping media up through your political contacts...

You wouldn't praise Dhoni, if you watched him in recent 6 months, he is becoming more like accumulater like Dravid then his usual flamboyance when he started, the big difference though is Dravid has near perfect technique while Dhoni looks like playing gully cricket when he tries to manueveour the ball in the out field..I don't see Dhoni being long in Indian Cricket.

true. dhoni has no technique at all to last long in test ckt. he has not been playing good ckt against quality bowlers n on bowler friendly conditions. he is kind of dead pitches.

going by ur logic, even msd was selected due to lalu's politics, isnt it? just look at parthiv's performances impartially without bringing any politics.
