Dinesh Karthik has been the comeback man in Indian cricket. He made his debut in 2004 even before MS Dhoni but never cemented his place in the side. He was highly inconsistent during his initial years but after 2016 he has been a revelation in the Indian cricket circles as he improved his fitness and temperament to play at the highest level.

His performance of 29* runs off 8 balls in the final of 2018 Nidahas Trophy is one for the history books. This knock and his magnificent run in IPL 11 for KKR have reinvigorated faith in his batting skills, especially his finishing skills.
Given his experience and form, he should be given chance to play at 6, which may aid India during the World Cup next year in England as Dhoni has not been at his best hitting form in the last few years so Dinesh might actually fill that void.

A sport that he has been following and playing since he was eight, Balakrishna enjoys the intensity of the sport, skills and strategies applied to get a result out of nowhere, and the thrill that it gives.
