Dinesh Karthik is considered as one of the finest Wicket Keeper-batsman in India. Before joining Mumbai Indians, he failed to lie up to the expectations as a good T20 batsman. He had a sensational season for Mumbai in 2013 and to go with that, he had a tremendous domestic season as well. With India touring England and World Cup 2015 coming in the next year, Karthik will look to regain his place in the Indian National team.
It is unlikely that Mumbai Indians will use their Joker Card for Karthick. Teams that don’t have a proper wicket keeper in their ranks will look to sign Karthik. Among the eight teams, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be the favourites to get the bragging rights of the Chennai boy.
