4. Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik did not spend a lot of time at the crease in the last game as Virat Kohli chose not to leave anything for him to get. His stay in the Indian team has been a quiet one ever since he set the stage on fire with two consecutive centuries in the warm-up games of the Champions Trophy.
He will have a lot of competition for his spot in the middle-order with Cheteshwar Pujara, Ambati Rayudu joining the race with this series. He certainly has the ability to score those big hundreds batting at number 4 but he does suffer from the flaw of inconsistency. He must continue scoring runs in this series and it is a probability that he will be pushed up the order.
