Tough choice between Karthik and Rishabh: With the T20 World Cup around the corner, skipper Rohit Sharma is looking for a player who can come down and bail the team out of any pressure situation. At the moment, looking at Dinesh Karthik's performance, it seems that he has solved this problem for t20 team. Karthik's performance could also hurt some of the top players who are in the race for the T20 World Cup.
Some of the recent matches played by Karthik were excellent. He showed the intent to finish the game. If looking his performance in IPL 2024 then in the last match, he scored 83 runs in 35 balls. His innings may have made the fans happy, but some players who are in the race for the T20 World Cup will definitely be sad. DK performance has given a try to the T20 team selectors.
Apart from IPL, Pant has played the role of a finisher for the team before and is considered the most favourite for wicket keeping. Rishabh Pant faces the least threat from Karthik as he too has been brilliant so far in IPL 2024. At the same time, if we talk about Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube, then they do not have the option of wicket keeping. Apart from this, Pant not having the experience of playing in a big event like the World Cup can also be a disadvantage in front of Karthik.
Looking at his stats in IPL 2024, he looks the most perfect for the Indian team in the role of finisher. Dinesh Karthik has been one of the most consistent performers for Royal Challengers Bangalore this season.
Karthik has scored 226 runs in 7 matches at an average of 75. His strike rate (205) was also excellent during this period. In the death overs, Karthik's impact also takes him ahead of Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan in the race for finisher and wicket-keeper.
Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the four batsmen in top ten. Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya are the two all-rounders in the squad. While Karthik can also play the role of a finisher down the order along with keeping wickets.
