IPL 2017 | Mumbai Indians' Parthiv Patel and Jos Buttler involved in wicket keeping banter on Twitter

Mumbai Indians posted a video of wicketkeepers, Patel and Buttler, on social media where the two were involved in a wicketkeeping drill during the preseason preparations. In the drill, Patel is standing behind the stumps while Buttler is playing the role of a batsman.

The duo has been teammates for a while now, and the connection between the two was easily visible when Buttler reacted to the video tweeting, “@parthiv9 appealing for everything as usual!”

Patel weighed in with a response of his own tweeting, "And u were keep hitting the edge of the bat as usual.”

While this exchange is certain to bring a smile to the fans’ faces, more importantly, it’s great to see the bond that Buttler and Patel have formed, despite competitive nature of the game.
