This could be Dinesh Karthik's chance to seal his position in the ODI team

Dinesh Karthik made his international debut for India in 2004 at just 19 years of age as a wicketkeeper-batsman with immense potential. After what has been a long gap of 13 years, he has now made his comeback to ODI cricket; this time, with the hope to convert his ability and skills into a successful international career.

With his impressive stroke play, he can push spectators to the edge of their seats, but his unusual selection of shots can often equally frustrate the audience =. He can make unbelievable stumpings look easy (as he did in 2004 against England to get rid of Michael Vaughan), and also allow the easiest ones to go past him. He can take stunning catches (as he did against the Proteas in the 2007 World T20), and can just as easily drop an easy one.

Due to these inconsistent performances, he has not been a part of the team on a regular basis. Consequently, his exclusion paved the way for M. S. Dhoni to seal his spot in the Indian cricket team. 

Karthik never lost hope; he has always been confident and continues to work hard to make a mark at the international level. In the current scenario, he is in stiff competition with the new young guns of Indian cricket, such as Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson.

Karthik’s positive mindset is what has always kept him going. By staying upbeat and confident, and keeping himself physically fit and strong, he has made it clear that there will always be an opportunity to make a comeback to the national team.

Since the start of 2016 season, he has scored 1,122 runs in 19 innings in List A cricket, at an average of 74.80. Also, he scored four centuries, including one in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Additionally, in the IPL, he scored 512 runs for the Gujarat Lions at an average of 32.

It is still very early in the comeback story for Karthik, and he must keep himself aware of the fact that there are so many other batsmen around the corner, all waiting to seize the first opportunity that comes their way.

It must be said that if he keeps performing like he did in the second ODI against New Zealand at Pune, he might very well be able to finally seal his spot in the batting line-up. His half-century, the ninth of his career, certainly had a role in propelling India to a win against the Kiwis.

Whether he will go the distance or this is just another of his many comebacks, only time will tell.

Manish Pandey, Shreyas Iyer , KL Rahul, Sanju Samson and many more batsman are ahead of Kathik.

even kedar is way better than karthik, better to get raina back than grooming karthik as no 4.

i feel shreyas iyer or KL rahul could be the ideal no 4 batsman. 

 

playing pacers with the new ball for indian batsman is tough and after that all indian batsman enjoy hitting spinners and even hitting pacers as pacers bowl like duds in their second spells.

KL rahul has already proved himself as a stable opener so its just a matter of time when he will prove his capability as a no 4 batsman.

Shreyas iyer and Manish pandey are also equally good.

Rohit, Kohli and Dhawan ... all play pacers well with the new ball in ODIs unless the ball is swinging a lot, which is rare in ODIs these days.

 

Rahane is better at playing pacers than spinners.

 

Rahul plays pacers well with the new ball too.

Some one is paying these news agencies to hype up Dinesh Karthik. We know what ability he has got:

 

27 average from 23 Test Matches

29 average from 75 ODI matches 

 

With that numbers, he would even struggle to get into SriLankan team, let alone Indian side. 

If you post his s/r, then he would struggle to get even in the 90s team. Shows how pathetic he is.

Let us not forget that Yuvraj,Gambhir Parthiv Patel and Harbhajan all had a shot at redemption in the last 2-3 years ...they had to suck real real bad to be dropped. Scary part is none of them have officially retired.

 

Karthik is the new entrant and thankfully for all of us Nehra doesn’t want to play WT20 2018.

 

still in line Uthappa,Unadkut,Yusuf Pathan,Irfan Pathan,Munaf Patel,RP Singh Piyush Chawla and Sreeshanth(once his ban is lifted) 

 

trust me one of these will make an appearance soon.

Dk will always be a one hit wonder type in int'l level... can't wait for Dhoni to retire...Rahul is sitting out...could've easily replaced MS

Who will keep?  Rahul is horrible keeper. DK is also average keeper only. Better to try Pant, ready or not. Stick to him and give him confidence.

You would think getting embarassed in a final against our arch-rivals would wake us up. But I guess not. Team management is happy with mediocrity.

It's sickening,but that final defeat at least led to changes in bowling combination and that's exactly I wanted a 3-0 humiliation against NZ for some heads to roll again but still hoping for a big loss today 

Iyer,Pant ,Krunal and Sundar Washington should start getting chances if the team management had modicum of sense.To all those who ll come up with arguments like why so many youngsters ,well experienced bhi kya ukhaad lete hain 

Now we ll see Kartik,Dhoni,Dhawan in T20s as well ,add to that Nehra in one off ,would have preferred Siraj getting a game instead,farewell match :facepalm:
