Is Dinesh Karthik's Time Up ?

[thevortex]

Rohit is one of the most "talunted" batsman we have seen in the last couple of years..He is still nohit sharma. Talent has to be backed up with runs, otherwise it is useless. Karthik has played 23 tests compared to Dhonis 43. Remember Karthik was tried before Dhoni came into the team. He did play a couple of good innings but they were followed by a few bad ones. Again regarding the consistency of playing, he was our keeper, then was dropped in favor of Dhoni and Dhoni grabbed his chance. What do you expect Karthik to get now? Only the games the Dhoni doesnt play. He lost his chance. Now the onus is on Karthik to perform in the 1 or 2 games he gets a temp spot, not on the selectors to make him permanent.

To repeat what I have already said - that is precisely why I am 'very very disappointed' with Dinesh Karthik. I thought that much was clear in my first post in this thread. There is no doubt in my mind that Karthik is far more talented as a batsman as well as a keeper than Dhoni. But I never said talent alone is enough. Obviously it is not. Not at the highest level.

He is not an excellent batsman but he is the 2nd best keeper batsman in India at the moment. He does well in patches n thats why he is still mostly on the bench not in the playing XI
