Dinesh Karthik continues to shut down all his critics with his fantastic form in this year’s IPL so far. By batting in the fifth or sixth position, he has managed to score 274 runs in 12 innings at an average of 68.5. His overall strike rate is 200 while 8 times he has left the field being not out. Today, also he got only 8 balls to play but scored 30* runs while 22 runs came in the 20th over only. This little cameo, including 1 four and 4 sixes, helped Royal Challengers Bangalore to post 192/3 on the board while batting first.

Eyebrows were raised when RCB bought him for INR 5.50 Crore. Former KKR Captain had decent few seasons with bat and thus, KKR decided to part ways with him. However, RCB Management has shown faith in his experience and how well, he is returning it! Such little cameos have become a habit for him in this year’s tournament as the 37-year old has managed to crack the code of hitting sixes instantly. This form of DK has been instrumental for RCB in collecting 14 points in 12 matches (currently in 4th Position). Overall, Karthik’s performance in the 20th over has been phenomenal as he has smashed 71 runs from only 23 balls at a strike rate of 308.40, Unbelievable!

Cricket experts like Michael Vaughan have pledged full support for including him in the Indian squad for the upcoming t20 World Cup 2022. Considering the form of Rishabh Pant, DK can be a vital part of Rohit Sharma’s plans. Only time will tell if he gets a seat on the flight to Australia or not. For now, keep smashing DK…Good Luck!
