Further Parthiv Patel talked about how difficult it has been for him to be a wicketkeeper with nine fingers as his baby finger doesn’t fit in the gloves. He also revealed that he tapes his finger with the glove so that it stays jointed. He revealed:

“It is slightly difficult in a way because the last finger doesn’t’t fit in the wicket-keeping gloves. So I tape it down the gloves so that it stays joint. I don’t know how it would’ve been if I had all the fingers but when I look back, it feels good to represent India as a wicket-keeper with nine fingers,”
