In yesterday night’s IPL 2022 match against the Delhi Capitals, Dinesh Karthik smacked an incredible 66 off just 34 bowls (DC). Dinesh Karthik has practically picked up wherever AB de Villiers left off for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, as per Aakash Chopra.
Faf du Plessis’ side posted a mammoth 189/5 on the board thanks to his brilliant knock, and they proceeded to win the game by 16 runs.
Karthik’s performances, as per Chopra, guaranteed that RCB triumphed despite the absence of runs from Du Plessis and Virat Kohli. He stated, ”
“AB de Villiers seemed to have left his soul with Dinesh Karthik. Even though Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli did not register runs, Bangalore won.”
Glenn Maxwell rescued the RCB out of early danger, Aakash Chopra went on to say:
“Wickets dropped at regular intervals when they came to bat. Anuj Rawat is fired by Shardul Thakur, and Faf du Plessis is fired. This is Virat Kohli’s sixth match, and he has been run out twice. He’s doing runs that don’t exist. Maxwell batted like Maxi, and he was a great hitter.”
Aakash Chopra praises Dinesh Karthik’s performance:
Aakash Chopra was effusive in his admiration for Karthik’s knock, stating:
“However, RCB was 92/5 at one point after that. Wow, such a player, what is this man doing, Dinesh Karthik? He’s turning back the clock; age is just a number to him; he’s class. Every other day, he reinvents the wheel.”
Dinesh Karthik now possesses AB de Villiers’ superpowers. He led the squad to 189 points. Shahbaz was equally impressive. The 20th over has to be bowled by Kuldeep Yadav.
The Delhi Capitals were bowled out for 68 runs in three overs, with Karthik hitting four fours and two sixes in Mustafizur’s first over, Glenn Maxwell hitting 23 runs in Kuldeep’s first over, and then 17 runs in his last over.”
With eight points, the Royal Challengers Bangalore has moved into third place in the standings.
