Probably the most deserving name on this list, the right-handed wicketkeeper deserves a mention. The greatness of MS Dhoni did not allow for another wicketkeeper to be in the team for a very lon time but Karthik did not stop working.
Now that the place has been open for contention, the right-hand batter has come up with a strong claim of his own. A good Indian T20 League as well as match-winning contributions in the recently concluded India- South Africa series forced the management to make a place for him. He made 92 runs at an average of 46, including his debut fifty in the 4th T20I.
