Dinesh Karthik has scored 197 runs from six games in IPL 2022 so far.
Astounded by Dinesh Karthik’s performance at the IPL 2022, for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, former RCB star AB de Villiers has said that the 36-year-old makes him go back and want to play cricket once more. De Villiers called him a 360-degree player and hailed his execution within the competition.
“The form he is at this moment and he has already won RCB 2-3 games. He looks like he is in the form of his life. I don’t know where that comes from because he hasn’t played a lot of cricket. But man, he looks in good form and he plays around the wicket 360 degrees,” de Villiers was quoted by India Today.
“He almost makes me feel like I want to go back and play some cricket again, watching him play. He gets me excited, plays under pressure in the middle order and he’s got a lot of experience and if he keeps his form up there is a good chance that RCB are going a long way up,” he added.
He surprised us all with the intent and energy: AB de Villiers
“I was incredibly surprised and I didn’t expect it. I have always known that he is a very capable player, a nitty-gritty kind of a guy. He likes the high-pressure situations and he’s a busy player at the wicket. But he hasn’t played a lot of cricket. The last time I saw him before IPL he was commentating in the UK. He wasn’t playing a lot of domestic cricket and I though he is possibly at the end of his career finishing. But he surprised us all I think with the intent and energy,” he concluded.
