As Dinesh Karthik took the field to bat against the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma made jokes. He made fun of the wicketkeeper-battler, implying that he was vying for a spot in the 2024 T20 World Cup. With the Tamil Nadu batter, this has been the situation. He unexpectedly won a ticket to the 2019 World Cup in England. On the strength of timely performances, he then took a plane to Australia for the 2022 T20 World Cup. Dinesh Karthik stated that the captain of the squad and the selectors would decide the World Cup prospects.
“I believe that as a player these days, you need to be aware of your advantages. I’m not as good at mishitting a ball and getting a six as [Andre] Russell or [Kieron] Pollard. I must thus comprehend how I function. What kind of balls can I hit for boundaries, and how can I beat gaps? And I realized that the way bowlers were bowling to me followed a specific pattern. Thus, I had to attempt to figure out a way to deal with that,” Dinesh Karthik stated during the RCB press conference prior to the game.
