Dinesh Karthik has been playing in the IPL for 17 years, out of which he has played for 6 franchises. His first IPL debut was with Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), followed by a few years with Punjab, a few years with Mumbai Indians, many years with Kolkata and the last few years played for RCB. Sometimes in the top order and sometimes for the sake of the team, the finisher has adapted himself to all roles. He was the team captain for Kolkata Knight Riders and took the team to the IPL final. Has played well as a finisher for RCB this year, looks like he can still beat many juniors in terms of batting and wicket-keeping.
