Speaking on Cricbuzz after the 4th T20I between India and South Africa, Nehra praised Karthik and said that making a comeback is never an easy thing for senior players. He added that the team management would be happy to see Karthik’s brilliant knock.

“It’s never easy for a senior player to make such a comeback. He did start off well in the series but was in search of a big knock. While he had been scoring impactful runs, it was good to see him bat at No. 6 today and score a half-century. You expect this from an experienced player,” Nehra told Cricbuzz.

“He was chosen as a finisher, but he also knows how to steady the ship when needed. The team management will be very happy with his performance,” he added.
