Dinesh Karthik hinted at his intention to play in the upcoming T20 World Cup for India.
RCB batter Dinesh Karthik has been in top form this IPL season as he sparked a frenzy with his amazing knocks that bailed out his team during the run chases. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter has shared that IPL 2024 will be his last time playing in the tournament. However, following his sentiments, he seems to be ready to wear the Indian jersey for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Dinesh Karthik was recently asked by the press about the rumours of him returning to the Indian squad for the World Cup to which Karthik replied, “At this stage in my life, it would be the greatest feeling for me to represent India at the upcoming T20 World Cup. I’m very, very keen to do so. There is nothing bigger in my life than representing India in this T20 World Cup.”
Karthik seemed to comply with any decision that the selection committee would make, but he subtly asserted his eagerness to join the squad. “I also feel there are three very, very stable, honest people who are at their helm to decide what should be the best Indian team for the World Cup. Rahul Dravid, Rohit Sharma, and Ajit Agarkar. And I’m completely with them. I respect any decision that they make. But all I can say is that I’m 100% ready. And you know I’ll do everything I can to be on that flight to the World Cup,” added Dinesh.
Certainly, Karthik proved to be the best finisher for RCB, and his stats speak for themselves. In the seven matches that he has played, he has amassed 226 runs with an excellent strike rate of 205.45. Regarding his current role and destructive form in RCB, DK shared a positive remark. “It’s been great to go out there and express myself, and it’s been thoroughly enjoyable to do what I’m doing for RCB as a finisher,” Karthik concluded.
