Is Dinesh Karthik the next Rahul Dravid?
I know he scored a decent 50 against a 3rd tier cricket team in Bangladesh but doesn't his attitude, poise and the way he plays his innigs remind you of a very very young Rahul Dravid?

- The fact is that many players in our team have the potential to become a great player. But they don't use it for the best. If they had, India would have been better the the Australians.
Dinesh Karthik has the ability to rescue the team from dire straits. Being an new player, he is working with full commitment. Let us wait and see whether he can retain it - which is what has made Dravid a respected member of the team.
- he's still maturing... has the potential to become the next captain.. too young but......
I personally feel he'll be able to lead the team.... in a better sense...
- No.The same thing was made out of M S Dhoni.He was hailed as the next big thing.And he didn't perform that well, did he?
So it would be better to wait and watch Karthink before jumping to conclusions.
- He is ok, he has a long way to go to catch up with Dravid. I noticed in the beginning of his partnership with Dravid in the first match, he was very nervous & didn't seem to have composure in the situation (compare this with Ravi Bopara of England). He nearly cost India an easy wicket (run-out) at least 3 times in that innings
- he has long way to go for that
- Dinesh Karthik has started his international carreer just recently. While he is showing lot of promise, it is too early to compare him with Rahul Dravid too early.
- Is he going to be the next "wall"?
- Absolutely
- yah somehow
- yea well, maybe YES.. but it'll take lotsa time. Let him play 4 some more time... then, we will know the results ourselves - whether he is our WALL or not..
