Dinesh Kartik responded to a fan, who compared him to AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle
Dinesh Karthik is making a strong case for his comeback to the Indian team after his stellar run with the bat for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season.
The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman played a sublime knock of 30* off just 8 balls, which helped RCB rack up a total of 192 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium. In the end, it proved to be a mountain too huge to climb for Kane Williamson’s side as they were defeated by 67 runs.
Having played the role of a finisher for RCB this season, Karthik was compared to former heroes of the franchise, AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle by a fan, and he even responded to the fan’s claim.
