3 Reasons why Dinesh Karthik must be chosen ahead of Rishabh Pant 

#2 Better Wicket-keeping Skills

Dinesh Karthik has great wicket-keeping skills

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has proved himself as the best wicket-keeper on the planet with his mind-boggling wicket-keeping skills.

Till date, no one has ever managed to beat Dhoni when it comes to keeping the wickets. MS Dhoni holds the record of fastest stumping ever in the history of cricket with the timing of 0.09 seconds. It’s even lesser than the blinking of an eye by a normal human being.

Dinesh Karthik is one such guy who has been following Dhoni’s wicket-keeping skills. One such example of it was witnessed during the match between the Kolkata Knightriders and Rajasthan Royals during the Indian Premier League in 2018.

As soon as the skipper of Rajasthan Royals, Ajinkya Rahane placed the ball and tried to steal a cheeky single, Karthik from dived and removed the bails.

Karthik stunned the entire crowd with his skill and proved his worth as India’s best wicket-keeper after MSD.

On the other hand, Rishabh Pant leaked many runs in the form of byes when he kept the wickets in England.

He is more of a batsman who can keep wickets and not a keeper who can bat well. So, Karthik ranks above Pant when it comes to wicket-keeping.
