Sasanian army was a conscript army, so it would be nigh impossible for us to find a regular infantry except for mercenaries like the Daylamites who fought under a certain commander with the promise of profit.
Basically, all Sasanian infantry (except for mercenary) are conscript so it would be the training, discipline, armament, combat pay and loot distribution that determine the effectiveness of the infantry.
