The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team recorded a famous win against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday in their first outing in the ongoing T20 world cup tournament. Despite not getting the ideal start, India won the match, thanks to the heroics of Run Machine Virat Kohli. If not for the former skipper India would have not won the match.
The drama lasted in the last over too. Starting with Hardik Pandya getting out on the first ball of the 20th over and Virat smashing a six on a no-ball and Dinesh Karthik getting out when India needed two runs in two balls. In the last, Ashwin held his nerves and scored the winning runs.
After the match, Dinesh Karthik thanked Ravichandran Ashwin. Highlighting Ashwin’s heroics, Dinesh Karthik said the spinner is the smartest player, and his presence of mind helped India win the match. He also thanked Ashwin for saving him.
“Thank you for saving me yesterday, so cool and calm,” said Dinesh Karthik talking about Ashwin. There is nothing wrong with what the wicketkeeper-batsman said. If Ashwin would have not held his nerves the story would have been different.
Dinesh Karthik was taken into the team as the finisher. He entered the ground with a lot of expectations. However, he could not reach the expectations and got stumped.
Fans pin high hopes on a finisher and Dinesh Karthik is in the team for the role. After his heroics in the Nidahas Trophy final in 2018. His 8-ball 29 runs made the difference and made India win the tournament.
