Veteran wicketkeeper–batsman Dinesh Karthik, who was touted as the next big thing in the Indian cricket team when he made his debut, hasn’t played any international game for team India following World Cup 2019.

DK suffered the biggest setback when he couldn’t save his place in the Test squad for a long time despite scoring runs in the Test series played on England soil in the year 2007.

After that, DK got a chance to play in the series against Pakistan but he remained out of the playing XI in the Test series on the Australian tour.
