Karthik has been in and out of the Indian team due to lack of a vulnerable spot in the lineup but is eyeing a permanent spot in the side after displaying his potential as a batsman in the recent times.

He has proved his worth as a batsman in the IPL, scoring 2903 runs in 152 matches. It was clear that Kolkata Knight Riders have invested for the batsman in him when they shelled out Rs. 7.4 crore for him.
