Karthik may not have got a fifty, but he played out a number of overs with the new ball. We had the bonus on the mind, and with Viru there I knew it would be easy. The way he batted reminded me of my second series when I batted with him. Fun-loving person, and enjoys his batting on the pitch."

The initials M S D of India's captain should read Man of Steel Dhoni! After all, few players in contemporary cricket have endured the rigours of the game as well as he has.

Since making his international debut in December 2004, the wicketkeeper-batsman has played non-stop cricket. And after being named India captain, starting with the Twenty20 format in 2007, he's featured in almost every Test, ODI, T20 or Indian Premier League match. As of August 23, he already has 63 playing days against his name in 2010 -- the most by players in the Indian team this year. For the record he's played 6 Tests (5 days), 15 ODIs, 5 T20s and 13 IPL matches since January.

Unlike his other team-mates, Mahendra Singh Dhoni cannot afford to relax even a minute when on the field. Being the captain of the side, he has to constantly evolve strategy while keeping wickets and, at the same time, is expected to play a big role with the bat.

On the ongoing tour of Sri Lanka, it appears he is struggling with injury to his back and fingers on his right hand, yet he soldiers on relentlessly, forcibly or by choice, you may never know.

Thus, it is baffling that despite having the luxury of Dinesh Karthik in the squad in the ongoing tri-series he continues in the keeper's role.
