Dinesh Karthik is one of the most experienced players in the tournament

Dinesh Karthik has been in and out of the Indian national team ever since he started playing for the team. He is a good wicket-keeper when it comes to technique and accuracy. MS Dhoni's rise as one of the finest wicketkeeper-batsman in the history of the game pushed DK down the order, which also limited his opportunities.

He played for three different IPL teams before he signed for KKR and was given the captaincy. An IPL veteran with 3315 runs in his kitty, the KKR captain has scored 412 runs this season and contributes to the team whenever possible.

His leadership skills can't be questioned as he has led the team superbly so far, keeping them in contention for the playoffs ever since taking the mantle from captain Gautam Gambhir who lead KKR to the trophy on two previous occasions.
