Parthiv since comeback:

42, 67*, 15, 50*, and now 51 and still batting

Hasn't been great behind the stumps but has been very good with the bat

Yeah if he'd kept better he'd be putting pressure on Saha when he was fit again, but his batting just just isn't worth the keeping trade-off given how well India's spinners bat. His versatility might have earned him a squad place next time India tour though.

It might be outside of the subcontinent though.

Yip, trying to dislodge openers on an Indian road, the series already lost 3-0: it does not get much more depressing than this.

Yeah, the thing about both PP and DK is that they give amazing versatility and flexibility to the side. DK is a bit better as keeper (used to be a lot better, dunno how he fell off but he did, but was always a natural keeper) and PP is a bit better as a batsman (struggles less against seam and swing but just as strong off the backfoot as DK and has added more shots since his last international series).. That way we are a bit lucky.
