Dinesh Karthik Reveals His Predictions For Top Run Scorers

Dinesh Karthik opined that there will be a tough fight for the top run-scorer spot between Rohit Sharma and David Warner in the upcoming ICC event. He explained the connections of Rohit with ICC tournaments being too strong while Warner is very destructive any time he comes into the team at the top of the order.

“Both of them open the innings. Both of them are solid players. I would put money on either one of them. Both are very hungry. Rohit Sharma and World Cups, they’re synonymous. They just love each other. They find ways to help each other out.If India are to do well he is somebody who needs to fire for them up top.

David Warner hasn’t played cricket for Australia for some time now. A hungry David Warner is a scary David Warner. He will come all guns blazing. I’m expecting some big things from him.” Dinesh Karthik said in an ICC Digital Show
