Dinesh Karthik played in the group stage match against Pakistan, where he got a chance to play only one ball on which he took a single. At the same time, his batting did not come in the match against Hong Kong. When the Indian team once again faced Pakistan in the Super-4 against Pakistan, Dinesh Karthik was dropped. In the match against Sri Lanka, only Rishabh Pant was given a chance. However, Pant was a flop in both the matches and could not score big.
