#8 Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik was just 21 when the 2007 World Cup took place. He is another player who was always in an out of the squad. Despite his sporadic appearances, the Chennai-born Wicketkeeper-batsman has gone on to have a decent career.
The Right Handed Batsman amassed 1700 runs in the 89 ODIs he has played, and 352 runs in 27 T20I at an average of 35.2.
DK has established himself as one of the best finishers in limited overs cricket. He played a great cameo of 25* in an ODI match against Australia recently.
The 33-year-old has previously represented Kings XI Punjab, Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals), Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Gujarat Lions in the IPL. DK is currently the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders and a vital cog in the team.
Besides playing for the national team and in the IPL, Karthik also plays for Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy. The classy player has a good chance of making it to the 2019 World Cup squad as well.
