Wicket Keeper:
Dinesh Karthik
The Tamil Nadu lad has been unlucky. The Sam Curran ball which castled him in the first innings at Lord’s would’ve castled even the great Don. In the second innings, he walked into one of Broad’s periodic ‘unplayable’ spells. The inswinger he was greeted with right away was scorching hot to handle.
His 20 in the second innings of the first Test was promising. That he can thrive in these conditions was evident by his 82 in the practice match against England Lions. Walking out ahead of Hardik Pandya will also do his confidence wonders.
