Injured Wriddhiman Saha makes way for Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik is set to replace Wriddhiman Saha in the one-off Test match against high on confidence Afghanistan side. He had to wait for 8 long years to make a comeback in the Test team. He last featured in a five day game in the year 2010.

Wriddhiman Saha injured his thumb while playing against Kolkata Knight Riders in Qualifier 2 at Kolkata in the IPL. Though Dinesh Karthik and his side lost the match but the injury to Saha had better things in store for the future. Dinesh Karthik is at the peak of his career. The Nidahas trophy final against Bangladesh turned the tables around for the wicket keeper batsman.

It seems to be an easy encounter but who knows better than Dinesh Karthik what Rashid Khan can do to the opposition. One of the finest talents around in International cricket at present. It will be a thrilling battle between the two sides. Mohammad Nabi and other exciting Afghanistan players will look to cause an upset by defeating team India.

Chinnaswamy Stadium will host the Test match between India and Afghanistan on 14th June.
