Not many might remember this. Then read every line of my answer.
He debuted for India before Mahendra Singh Dhoni as a teen in 2004.
He got selected in both the World T20 2007 as well as the CWC 2007. He never got a chance to play a match in the latter though.
Ravi Ashwin once thought that he would become the next Sachin Tendulkar of Indian cricket,seeing his prodigious batting performances in domestic cricket.
He scored a test century against Bangladesh batting as an opener!
People applauded him for his 29 runs off 8 balls against Bangladesh in the Nidahas Trophy Finals in 2018,but criticised him immensely for his decision to retain strike against New Zealand in a T20I in early 2019,a match which India eventually lost.
He was the first choice wicket-keeper selected for the CWC 2019,yet,he had to make way for Rishabh Pant in the initial few matches.
He was averaging some 49.8 in IPL 2018,yet,his form was the only question that the KKR selectors made a mess off,due to an off-colour IPL 2019.
He is not exactly the highly gifted player like Dhoni or potentially talented like Wriddhiman Saha,but a player who is eager to accept any challenge whatsover.
He has always played second fiddle to players,first to M. S. D,and now a Rishabh Pant who is 14 years his junior!
I guess,everyone can understand who he is?
Long live Dinesh Karthik Krishna Kumar!
