Royal Challengers Bangalore<\/a> when they picked Dinesh Karthik<\/a> for their season in 2022 were questioned for investing in Karthik who was leaving his commentator\u2019s seat. Soon, Dinesh Karthik was the roaring name in the IPL 2022 for his impeccable finish. Dinesh Karthik has been in brilliant form in the TATA IPL 2022<\/a>. The senior wicket-keeper batter scored 330 runs in 16 matches with a fantastic strike rate of 183.3 while playing at number 5 or 6. What pulled Karthik into an opportunity for India was his confidence and experience to finish matches and nothing better India could ask than to march their way into the world cup 2022.<\/p>\n

Ravi Shastri<\/a>, a former Cricketing legend and India coach, who triumphed in multiple away series except for bagging a world cup, is one of the most celebrated coaches for Indian cricket. His understanding of the present team is beyond understanding. Ravi Shastri while recently talking about Dinesh Karthik\u2019s entry into the Indian team:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is his opportunity. If and when he gets an opportunity in these games, he has to do it with India colors on. We know he has got the experience, so this becomes extremely vital,\u201d Shastri told Star Sports.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYou have to see from the team\u2019s point of view, what are they looking for? Do they want a keeper who will bat at the top of the order or do they want a keeper who will be the finisher? I will go for the latter. You need a keeper who will do MS Dhoni<\/a>\u2019s role, let\u2019s put it that way. There is already Rishabh Pant<\/a> who can bat in the top four or five in T20 cricket<\/a>, but you want someone who can keep and finish a game because there aren\u2019t too many finishers now with MS (Dhoni) having quit. So, I think that\u2019s where his chances are very very good,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
