India vs South Africa, 2018: 3 players who should be given a chance in the remaining ODIs

#2) Dinesh Karthik

Karthik would look to secure a spot for himself in the middle order

Dinesh Karthik was brought back to the Indian team after a long gap of 3 years for the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, where he was made to warm the bench despite him having scored a century in a warm-up match of the tournament.

The keeper-batsman, since his comeback, has played in 8 matches and has scored 183 runs at a splendid average of 61 with two fifties to his name. He was looking very impressive in his comeback stint and was performing brilliantly for Tamil Nadu as well.

India has two spots in the middle order which haven't been filled up by any of the batsmen. Karthik has performed pretty well in those positions but has consistently been let down by the inconsistent team selection. It is time that he is given a long run to prove his ability and cement his place in the side.
