The 38-year-old India National Cricket Team wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has named a veteran batter as India’s trump card heading into the ICC World Test Championship Final.

The Rohit Sharma-led India will lock horns with the Pat Cummins-led Australia in the final of the ICC World Test Championship, which is scheduled to begin on June 7 at the Kennington Oval in London.

Speaking to Cricbuzz ahead of the ultimate Test, Dinesh Karthik named the 35-year-old Cheteshwar Pujara as the trump card for India in the World Test Championship Final. He believes that the veteran batter will have to play a key role if India want to end their ICC trophy drought.

The veteran wicketkeeper-batter also feels that the modern-day batting great Virat Kohli will continue his red-hot form and register good scores in the high-profile game against Pat Cummins & Co.

“He [Virat Kohli] batted well right from the start. In the first game, he got a 70 against Mumbai Indians. He was looking top-notch, and right at the back end of the IPL. He showed his class. The two hundreds that he got is phenomenal. He is batting brilliantly and I am very sure he’ll have a good score,” he said.
