As performer India stoner Harbhajan Singh, Dinesh Karthik beats everyone, including Pant, because of his scorching form.
Karthik, who is 36 years old, last featured for India in the ICC World Cup semifinal loss to New Zealand in 2019.
While bringing together the right India eleven for the next T20 World Cup in Australia, head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma are set to confront a pleasant selecting problem.
While some young players have made waves in this year’s IPL, a couple of seniors have made a bid for a return to India.
Many of the more experienced players, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Dinesh Karthik has thrived in the job of a finisher, putting his name forward for a place on the Indian side.
He has been unbelievable with the bat: Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan Singh, who performed alongside Karthik at Kolkata Knight Riders, emphasized how the wicketkeeper-batter has improved his team’s best to complete matches.
“If we look at his form and what he’s done for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, he’s been brilliant with the bat,” He’d always been a solid wicketkeeper. From the start, Karthik was a fantastic goalkeeper. With the bat, he has taken on the role of a finisher.
For Kolkata Knight Riders last season, he was a bit of an oddball. Harbhajan Singh told Sportskeeda, “He didn’t score a lot of runs,” “He was removed in a crucial time, and now he’s assisting Bangalore in winning from that position,” He’s winning all of your games.
In my opinion, he’ll be ahead of everyone, including Rishabh Pant. If you’re going to Australia, he should be your first choice.
“In those conditions, fast bowlers will get an extra bounce.” On the other hand, Karthik is currently engaged in a 360-degree game. He has been unstoppable and should be included in India’s T20 World Cup squad,”
“If a player is performing well, he should be recalled, and DK hasn’t had a bad run in international cricket. With the Indian team, he needs to be given consistent opportunities. He would help India score a lot of runs,” Harbhajan Singh continued.
With a strike rate of 205.88, Dinesh Karthik has scored successful innings of 32, 14, 44, 7, 34, 13, and 66. He’s also unbeaten in six of the seven innings he’s played.
