Matthew Hayden Believes Rohit Sharma Has Been Unfair to Dinesh Karthik Ahead of T20 WC 2022
T20 WC 2022: After being questioned
about Dinesh Karthik‘s place in India‘s
starting XI, Matthew
Hayden‘s take has created quite a stir. It goes
without saying that the veteran Australian’s response raises the stakes and the
excitement.
A busy period is anticipated
for cricket as the T20
World Cup 2022 approaches. The Playing XI is
currently being finalized by Rahul Dravid, the head coach, and Indian captain
Rohit Sharma.
Each game that passes just
heightens the drama and intrigue around the Dinesh Karthik situation. Recently,
there have been debates regarding him and Pant for the wicket-keeping position.
Karthik has clearly been shaped by the team selection to be India’s finisher
for the T20 World Cup.
Karthik’s treatment in
relation to his spot in the starting XI has at times been rather puzzling. Axar
Patel was ordered to bat first in the opening T20I between India and Australia
at Mohali. Meanwhile, Karthik, was being held back, which would definitely have
irritated him.
According to Matthew Hayden,
Dinesh Karthik Has Been Mistreated So Far
Axar
had trouble getting going in the match against the Kangaroos in Mohali.
Karthik’s momentum was then squandered too as he was removed so quickly after
making six runs off five balls.
Many
ex-cricketers questioned the choice to bring on Axar ahead of Karthik. Many
criticized the strategies used to keep him out of the last few overs by
Karthik, which generated a lot of debate.
One
of the many people who has questioned the idea is former Australia opener
Matthew Hayden. Moreover, he was visibly taken aback by the controversial
tactics and questioned Karthik’s position on the team.
“I was just thinking about
the role of Dinesh. This role Dinesh is playing now, for the life of me, I
can’t work out why he wouldn’t be in their batting now. It doesn’t make any
sense to me whatsoever,” Hayden stated.
DK
should have had plenty more chances to bat, according to Hayden. When compared
to the options he now has, it is fairly accurate. Hayden thinks that Karthik
should be batting higher in the order more given his talent and steely resolve
throughout 2022. This is despite the fact that he has historically been known
to bat as a finisher.
Hayden was in agreement with Ajit Agarkar. The former fast bowler for India highlighted how important it is for India to use and maximize Karthik. This is especially true in view of the fact that they have made it clear that Rishabh Pant is not as supportive of them as they are of the seasoned wicketkeeper.
