Parthiv Patel proved that he still retains his reputation of being a pocket-sized powerhouse as he played a sparkling knock on Monday to help the Virender Sehwag-captained Gujarat Giants claim a thrilling two-wicket victory over Harbhajan Singh`s Manipal Tigers in the fourth match of the Legends League Cricket (LLC). With this win, the Giants have now won two out of two to occupy the top spot in the points table.
On a challenging pitch at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, Parthiv treated the fans with some breathtaking stroke-play. The former India wicketkeeper-batter, who boasts a T20 strike rate of 123.84, changed the complexion of the match after the Giants struggled at the beginning of their chase of a 121-run target. Chris Mpofu (2/26), a former Zimbabwe pacer, dismissed Sehwag (1) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (0) in the second over of the Giants` chase. But Parthiv took the attack to the opposition camp by hitting three consecutive boundaries in the third over, bowled by Englishman Ryan Sidebottom.
