Every punter loves a dark horse in a race. In the race for the position of wicketkeeper of the Indian team, Deep Dasgupta is undoubtedly the latest dark horse! The Bengal stumper has been summoned to the training camp as part of the 25 probables and will look to impress the captain and selectors. Beginning his first class career as a batsman, Deep Dasgupta struck a century in the very first match he played, against Baroda in the 1998-99 Ranji Super League. Since then, Dasgupta has donned the gloves for Bengal, taking over from Saba Karim. Although unlikely that he will be picked to tour Zimbabwe, the experience at the training camp will hold Dasgupta in good stead.
