IPL 2024: [Watch] Rohit Sharma Doesn’t Want Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Asks Dinesh Karthik to Play in T20 World Cup 2024
Rohit Sharma jokingly proposed Dinesh Karthik as a contender for the T20 World Cup 2024 during the MI vs RCB match.
Dinesh Karthik blazes through, amassing 53 runs off a mere 23 balls to bolster RCB’s first innings, setting a target of 197 against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the latest IPL clash at Wankhede Stadium.
Dinesh Karthik‘s innings sparkled with five boundaries and four towering sixes. Amidst his relentless assault, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was caught on the stump mic, teasing Karthik, suggesting he would play in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Notably, Dinesh Karthik has once again assumed the role of the finisher for RCB this season. In the ongoing campaign, Karthik has scored 143 runs from just five matches at a staggering strike rate of 190.
Wicket-Keeping Slot Wide Open for T20 World Cup 2024
While Rohit Sharma‘s comment was all in good fun, we can’t really peek into the minds of those Indian selectors, especially since the wicket-keeper slot is still wide open for the T20 World Cup, 2024.
Previously, there were reports circulating that the Indian selectors had their eyes on Rishabh Pant for the wicket-keeping duties in the T20 World Cup 2024. Alongside him, Sanju Samson is also being considered.
