Dinesh Karthik has excelled in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) program, and has been particularly impressed with his finishing skills. An outgoing wicket-taker rescued Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) from many dangerous situations and on several occasions ensured that his ball landed on the opposing team.
Hitting with a strike rate of 183.33, Karthik amassed 330 runs from 16 touchdowns. It has been a major factor in the striker being included in the India squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa, starting June 9th.
Explaining his views on his return, former India coach Ravi Shastri said the upcoming series is an opportunity for the 37-year-old to strengthen his place in the Indian team in the upcoming T20 World Cup squad.
“This is his chance. If he also gets a chance at these games, he should do it wearing Indian colors. We know he has experience, so this is very important,” said Shastri.
