Dinesh Karthik: Knocking At The Door Again


    With some good & match-winning knocks on a row in domestic cricket i.e. Vijay Hazare Trophy which ultimately took his team to the winning side, Dinesh Karthik once again ready to upset the current spot-holders of wicketkeeper-batsman in the national side.
      
    About 10 years back Karthik was a regular in the national team in all three formats but a sudden rise of Dhoni and lack in performance costed him the spot.

   The position for the wicket-keeper was not vacant for the next decade but Karthik managed to return in the team as a middle-order batsman many times during these years but couldn't hold on for a long.
   
    Now Karthik is ready once again but no position of team seems vacant at this time. If we look at the team now we have Parthiv and Naman Ojha already reserved in tests for Saha and in limited overs until MS calls it off there is no position and not to forget the young boys Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson who will be the first choices.    

    It is not going to be a cake-walk for him to return in the side again but he has done this before and the good thing is he carries years of experience and in cricket performance is  always celebrated.

From mid 1970s to the early 1990s cricket without West Indies was just a loaf of bread without butter. Still the names Sir Garfield Sobers, Gordon Greenidge, Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd, Malcolm Marshall, Sir Andy Robert, Sir Curtly Ambrose, Michael Holding, Courtney Walsh and Sir Viv Richards act as synonyms to cricket.    But gone are those days, now bread alone is equally delicious as with butter.    They recently won ICC World Twenty20 (2016) but are just above Afganistan in ICC ODI rankings at 9th. They still have the players-to-beat in the form of Gayle, Bravo, Narine, Pollard, Samueles, Badri or Holder but not a team. They are not able to make a team, sometimes it is pay-dispute or other relates to players' discipline and behaviour or even the bureucracy and racialism in some cases.    Among the 8 tea
