IND vs AUS: Dinesh Karthik finishes things off in style

Meanwhile, India’s veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik stole the spotlight after he smashed a six and a four in the second T20I against Australia.

He played just two balls but he ensured to deliver the goods in style. India beat Australia by 6 wickets and levelled the series. Rohit Sharma gave a priceless reaction after Dinesh finished things off in style.

“Glad DK could finish well. Been a while since he had some time in the middle. There was this thought if we should get Rishabh in but I thought Sams is going to bowl off-cutters, so I thought let DK come in and he is playing that role anyway for us,” Rohit said at the post-match presentation.

Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik said, “There was not too much talk. Rohit was trying to tell me this is what the bowler would do, I had my plans.

“As a middle order batter it is about execution. It feels good to hit the winning runs. Ro with the bat and Axar with the ball stood out, good to see Bumrah back. We need to take the momentum forward. 1-1 is a good score.

“You want to play those crunch games. But more importantly, we are happy to have put up a show for the crowd with no injuries,” Karthik added.
