Dinesh Karthik has had a peculiar IPL career so far.

Karthik has been one of the leading batsmen in the domestic circuit over the years, owing to which he has always fetched big bucks in the auctions.

But due to one reason or the other, he hasn't been able to play for an IPL team consistently. Karthik started his IPL career playing for Delhi Daredevils in the year 2008.

He remained with the franchise till 2010, after which he played for Kings XI Punjab in 2012. He had a disappointing season with the Kings and was released by them.

Karthik's best IPL season came while playing for Mumbai Indians in 2013. He made 510 runs in the season and finished as the seventh highest run-getter of the tournament.

In 2015, Karthik wasn't retained by Mumbai Indians and was bought by RCB for a whopping 10.50 crores. But unfortunately, Karthik wasn't able to convert the big bucks into big runs and was released by the franchise ahead of the 2016 auction.

Karthik had two fruitful seasons playing for Gujarat Lions in the last two years. In this year's auction he was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for 7.60 crores.

Earlier this month, he was also named the captain of the side. Karthik has a brilliant chance to silence all his critics by putting up a strong show for the Knight Riders this season.
