Dinesh Karthik scored his first-ever T20 international half-century. It came at the most crucial time for the team as India were 1-2 down in the series and they were behind in the 4th game having lost 4 top-order batters with not much on the board.
I Am Thinking A Lot Better Now: Dinesh Karthik
For his fifty Dinesh Karthik was declared the player of the match. After the game, Karthik said, “Just feels good, I’m getting used to being interviewed with people I played with (he says as he speaks to Murali Kartik). I’m very secure in this set-up. In the last game, things did not go well but I felt safe after going back to the dressing room. I am thinking a bit better and am able to assess situations better. That comes from planning and experience.
“They bowled brilliantly up front, our openers could not get going. When I went in, Hardik told me to bide time. To execute things well is great. To go and be a local boy in Bengaluru, despite not representing RCB, is a thrill. The series is on the line which is great. Rahul Dravid has focused on what batters and bowlers need to do and not the results, the dressing room is secure and feels fuzzy which is good. That clarity and environment have helped.”, Dinesh Karthik added.
