In the absence of Wanindu Hasaranga, Royals tried just five bowlers against Titans, and no one apart from Jofra Archer made a mark

He will play multiple roles in the franchise's set-up, including that of a talent scout

Parthiv Patel, Vinay Kumar and James Franklin are part of the coaching staff too, while Robin Singh is the general manager - cricket

The 35-year old had won two titles with the franchise as a player in 2015 and 2017

He made 65 international appearances after becoming Test cricket's youngest wicketkeeper in 2002

Here's the explanation, from the man himself. Also, Parthiv Patel's thoughts on his nerveless last-ball direct-hit

With 26 to get in the last over, the Super Kings captain got it down to two off one ball before being beaten by Umesh's gutsy change of pace

In a top order-heavy Royal Challengers batting line-up, Parthiv Patel has made peace with his role as an opener and the uncertainty of his position, should he lose his form

India A's lower-order trio of Parthiv, Shankar and Gowtham helped the visitors make 467 for 8, after which their bowlers were made to work hard for 55 overs

Hanuma Vihari, Parthiv Patel, Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw enjoyed productive outings

Prithvi Shaw was picked as one of the openers while Mayank Agarwal was dropped

A day after India's defeat at Newlands, the four players who had sat out the Test match - KL Rahul, Ajinkya Rahane, Parthiv Patel and Ishant Sharma - went to the nets for an intense training session

India's chairman of selectors MSK Prasad said it was hard to look beyond Bumrah for the fifth fast bowler's slot given his "phenomenal" form

In Suraj, Parthiv Patel's 172-ball 173 helped Gujarat finish on 601 for 4, following which Rajasthan went to stumps at 183 for 4. Elsewhere, Haryana lead by 169 in their second innings with one wicket in hand against J&K in a match destined for a result

Gujarat open up 297-run advantage over Rajasthan, bowlers keep Kerala in the hunt and J&K in the hunt for first-innings lead

Iyer, Parthiv hit half-centuries as India A extend lead to 149 at stumps

With Rishabh Pant down with a fever, a BCCI official said that Parthiv's inclusion was a precautionary measure since the 15-man squad did not have another specialist wicketkeeper

The tournament, which will be held from September 7 to 29 in Kanpur and Lucknow, will be played with the pink ball under lights for the second successive year

Other notable players who will feature in the tournament include Rishabh Pant, Harbhajan Singh, Kedar Jadhav, Shikhar Dhawan, Axar Patel and Ambati Rayudu
