4 players who can replace Ambati Rayudu in India's World Cup playing XI

#3 Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik has been branded as one of the most unluckiest players of this generation. He has for long, lived under Dhoni's shadow and in the initial part of his career, couldn't capitalise on the opportunities. His biggest problem has been his lack of maturity and temperament at the crease.

Karthik is a phenomenal talent who might have missed a number of opportunities before, but he has been brilliant in the last 2 years.

His stats are even better at number 4 and he has been in sensational form over the last year in particular.

Karthik has the ability to both build the innings as well as to finish the innings. He is a brilliant player of spin and has been India's best finisher in the last year or so.

He has the ability to bat anywhere in the middle order and Indian team would definitely look at him in the playing 11 for the World Cup.
