#5 Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Kartik would ideally be the best choice to replace Dhoni in the tour of Zimbabwe, considering his experience in International circuit. The wicket-keeper batsman has had a good season with Gujarat Lions, scoring 280 runs and making 13 dismissals in 13 innings.
The 30-year-old has 4827 runs in 160 innings and averages 35.23 in domestic fifty overs cricket. Since the Indian side scheduled to tour Zimbabwe in June will feature new players, Karthik could play an important role in the side which lacks experience and international exposure.
