5 players who deserve a place for Zimbabwe tour

4. Dhawal Kulkarni

He has been one player who does not get disheartened by having to sit on the bench. Rather he waits for his opportunity and strikes when the iron is hot. Testimony to this was the recent Bangladesh series where he was the only Indian pacer who had something to show in his kitty. A perennial performer in the Ranji trophy, Kulkarni never quite got a full run. This for sure has to be his time of reckoning and he would be eager to make a name for himself.
