Dinesh Karthik improved his chances of being selected for the T20 World Cup 2022 with his 19-ball 41 against the West Indies in the first T20I. As per a BCCI selector, Karthik has indeed secured his spot in the Indian team for the world cup.
Karthik’s international career appeared to be almost finished up to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. However, the seasoned wicketkeeper-batsman now appears to have solidified his position as India’s top “finisher” in T20 cricket.
With a score of 41 off 21 against the West Indies on Friday in the first T20I, Karthik demonstrated his finishing prowess in yet another impressive way. The 37-year-old was honored as Player of the Match after India won by 68 runs as a result of his performance.
Even though the T20 World Cup 2022 is still approximately three months away, a BCCI selector claims that Karthik has already solidified his spot in the squad.
“Who is now able to stop Dinesh Karthik? He is now a lock to play in the T20 World Cup in Australia. He continuously delivers through his method and, more crucially, through his approach itself. He now has a lot of experience”, the selector was quoted as saying by Insidesport.

The selector also emphasized that while no formal discussions about selection matters have taken place, Karthik’s effectiveness and mindset have pleased the selection committee.
“There has been no formal discussion on the subject. When we speak casually, everyone is very impressed with him and his attitude,” the selector added.
Karthik slammed Windies bowlers all over the park. Since the start of IPL Season 15, the veteran stumper has established himself as one of the best in his position.
