Dinesh Karthik made this big mistake

Dinesh Karthik said, 'Brothers, a big mistake has been made, it was really a mistake. I realized this when this matter came to me. When I prepared the list of 11 players, so many things were happening that I forgot the wicketkeeper. At the same time, Rahul Dravid was in the team and everyone thought that I was going with a part-time wicketkeeper, but in reality I did not choose Rahul Dravid as a wicketkeeper. Can you believe that being a wicketkeeper, I forgot to keep a wicketkeeper? This is a very big mistake.

Dinesh Karthik further said, 'It is clear to me that Thala Dhoni can play in any format not only in India but anywhere. I think he is one of the greatest cricketers ever. If I have to make a change in that team, I will make one change, I will put Thala Dhoni at number 7 and he will be the captain of any Indian team.'
