ICC Champions Trophy 2017: 5 replacements for KL Rahul

#3 Dinesh Karthik

Will rich form be awarded?

The Tamil Nadu veteran has turned the clock back this season and has ruled all the three formats with the bat.

He dominated Ranji trophy in which he plundered 704 runs at an average of well above 50. He continued his form into the List A tournament where he amassed 854 runs in 12 innings at an average of 85.40.

He has looked the most assured of the Gujarat Lions batsman in the ongoing IPL and is timing the ball ever so crisply. This could be a slightly off-field selection but then he is the man in form and can be invested into.
