#2 Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik has seen it all, from the World T20 triumph in 2007 to the 2013 Champions Trophy success six years later, Karthik has been a part of several memorable wins both in India and abroad. However, for a wicket-keeper batsman playing in India, he was extremely unlucky that his career coincided with a certain MS Dhoni, forcing his keeping skills to take a side step and making his batting a prominent criteria for selection.
He shone, but in patches, never managing the same consistency that he so easily presents in the domestic format. He has played over 100 internationals for India, but never manages more than 30 in any format.
An IPL veteran who has played for a number of teams, if Karthik can convert his erratic pieces of brilliance into a continued run of form, he might get eke out a spot for himself in the team.
