India's 2007 World T20 Winning Team: Where are they now? 

#6 Dinesh Karthik

That Dinesh Karthik is playing international cricket for India eleven years after the World T20 triumph is a testament to the tenacity and strength of the man himself. Karthik, who has unfortunately spent most of his career in the shadow of MS Dhoni, was dropped from the side in 2007/08. He made a comeback to the side in 2009 and played for a year and a half until he was dropped again in 2010.

After that, he made a comeback in the 2013 Champions Trophy but was again dropped in early 2014 again. But finally, after working extensively with Abhishek Nayar and changing several aspects of his game, Karthik re-entered international cricket in the Champions Trophy of 2017 and looks to be in the best touch he has ever been in. Despite a short test comeback earlier this year, it seems that his in the Indian team lies in the white ball game.

While he has not been given an extended run in the ODI set-up, he has emerged as one of India's best finishers in the T20 format, guiding them to several wins, most famously in the Nidahas Trophy final in March earlier this year. Karthik has established himself in the T20 set-up, and with the World Cup around the corner and the form he appears to be in, Karthik will be keen to put himself on the flight to England as well.
