U mean to say that MS Dhoni is just 1.6 runs per match ahead of Dinesh Karthik and yet U call him best wicket-keeper.

Do you know any other wicketkeeper currently in India who's average is better than Dhoni in test? Facts has decided Dhoni is no.1 wicketkeeper of India even he is just 1.6 runs per match ahead of Karthik.

Dinesh Karthik played many of his innings as opener. That gives him advantage to play long innings. Parthiv played only 2 innings as opener while Dhoni has mostly played at position 7 where he has to play with lower order. This might increase his average if he stays not out but he still misses chance to make a big score eventually.
I think we should also see keeping abilities while rating WK. for that, there is no objective data.

One more thing exclude the series against Bangladesh where Karthik scored more than 100 average. Then he will come to no-3.
