Indian fans were extremely pleased as wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik was finally given a chance to feature in the playing eleven in the game against Bangladesh on July 2 at Edgbaston, Birmingham. 

Dinesh Karthik replaced Kedar Jadhav in the game against Bangladesh and will play his first game in the ongoing tournament since being picked in the squad for the World Cup. Karthik is an experienced middle-order batsman with the ability to finish the game, a woe that India was struggling to address. In addition to that, Dinesh Karthik has a reputation of playing a good game against Bangladesh, as the Tigers will want to forget the 29 run knock off 8 balls that snatched the victory away from them in the finals of the Nidhas Trophy.
