Team India is having a difficult time in England, as wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has been diagnosed with Covid-19, and another keeper, Wriddhiman Saha, is quarantine after speaking with a positive staff member. That means that if these two are not match fit, Team India's only choice is to field KL Rahul as the keeper.

However, Dinesh Karthik, who is also in England as part of the broadcast crew, has hinted that if given the chance, he could wear the gloves as well. Karthik came to Twitter to say that he is ready for the part in a subtle way.

A lot will rely on how the IPL unfolds, so looking forward to doing well for KKR and let's see if that helps me (make the Indian team),” Karthik had said earlier in an interview.

Karthik was even part of India's recent visit to England in 2018, where he played in the first two Tests.

“Well, it's always difficult to play for India. You don't realise how difficult the sport is until you're outside. According to the statistics, I've done well over time. Who knows whether I perform well in the second part of the IPL," he remarked.
