Career summary

- Test debut v Australia at Mumbai - November 2004.

- ODI debut v England at Lord's - September 2004.

- Karthik started his international career in the Indian one-day squad, as replacement for Parthiv Patel.

- He first came to the fore in the Under-19 World Cup in Dhaka where he scored a quick 70 in a must-win game against Sri Lanka, adding to this two vital hundreds in the Ranji Trophy where his improvement as a wicketkeeper put him in contention for the international squad.

- After a moderate run of scores, he was replaced by the flamboyant Mahendra Singh Dhoni, but then returned to the Test team on the South Africa tour in 2007, and kept his place despite the return of Dhoni as a specialist opener for the tour of Bangladesh, scoring his maiden Test century.

- This was followed by another spell on the sidelines and another recall to both ODI and Test teams.

pitch report

pitch reportWe run the rule over the venue for the second Test at Trent Bridge, where lateral movement is likely to dumbfound the Windies batsmen...

soapbox

soapboxMichael Holding's begun to use the phrase "with my West Indies hat on" with something approaching pride - a good sign, notes Peter May...

What the papers sayThe gents of the press give credit to an improving West Indian side, herald Ian Bell's emergence from a dark winter and name the "best anonymous batsmen in the world"...

bonehead says...

maybe it is in English culture to not to bat properly or bravely, only they know that .. lol this comes from the supporter of a team whose batsmen have a certain aversion to fast bowling.
