Parthiv Patel gets support on Twitter after being abused. (Source: Express Archive)
Parthiv Patel may have not made it big on the international stage but he remains a much-loved figure among cricket fans. He played a major hand in Mumbai Indians’ run to a third Indian Premier League title. Other than this, he is an icon for the Gujarat Ranji team, leading them to the title in the previous season.
Social media is a platform of expressing views and thoughts publicly but some users certainly don’t use the technology in a positive way. Recently a similar incident happened on social media handle Twitter when wicket-keeper batsman Parthiv Patel was abused without any reasons.
Patel on his Twitter account wrote, “Where can I watch live streaming of India game in hongkong?”

The Mumbai Indians player was still humble in his reply and suggested the user of not using and abrupt language for asking a simple question. Parthiv’s reply read, “BHAI Sidha Sawal pucha tha..usme gali dene ki kya jarurat thi?ghar pe bhi ese hi baat karte Ho aap?”
