5 wicketkeepers who could replace Dinesh Karthik behind the stumps

England v India: Specsavers 2nd Test - Day Two

#1 KL Rahul

England v India - 3rd Vitality International T20
KL Rahul's batting prowess is known about

It’s evident that India and Kohli want KL Rahul in the side. He’s been doing mightily well of late, something that’s made experts say that he should walk into all three formats of the game for India. But since his hundred in the T20I against England in Manchester, he hasn’t really done anything of note. But then again neither have the rest of the Indian batsman, with the exception of Kohli. There’s a good chance that Dhawan will be coming back into the side in place of Vijay who bagged a pair at Lords. Rahul could keep his place.

Although he hasn’t done so before at international level, there’s no reason why he couldn’t take the gloves as well. He keeps wicket at domestic level and in the IPL.
