There is a cliche that holds true for Murali Karthik, he is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. For long his domestic record has been exemplary, he was in the squad and never really trusted by Ganguly. Then came a captain who laid his trust on him.

But his performance has been shoddy most of the time, with patches of brilliance now and far between then.

Thirty matches and twenty seven wickets are not a happy reading.

Where is Piyush Chawla?
