Dinesh Karthik scored half century in 22 balls
4 fours on reverse scoop spoiling the bowler’s line
New Delhi. Experienced wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik scored a explosive half-century against Mumbai Indians in the 25th match of IPL. On the basis of Karthik’s explosive innings, RCB batted first and scored 196 runs. He scored unbeaten 53 runs with the help of 5 fours and 4 sixes in 23 balls. As soon as Karthik stepped on the crease, he spoiled the line of Mumbai bowlers. He hit 4 fours in the same area in the over of Akash Madhwal. Karthik took the ball to the third man boundary 4 times through a scoop reverse sweep shot. 38-year-old Karthik’s return to form before the upcoming T20 World Cup is good news for Team India.
After Glenn Maxwell was out on a personal score of zero, the responsibility of taking the innings forward fell on Dinesh Karthik. In the 13th over, Karthik started showing his exploits as soon as he stepped on the crease. He hit such spectacular shots in the 16th over of the innings that everyone was surprised to see them. Karthik hit 4 fours in the over of fast bowler Akash Madhwal. The most important thing was that all four fours he hit were in the same area and in the same way. Karthik hit all four fours on reverse scoop shots towards third man. The right-handed batsman scored his half-century in 22 balls.
IPL 2024: 5 wickets for 21 runs… 9 year old record broken… Mohammad Siraj bowed before the dreaded bowler.

It’s not a replay❌
It’s just @DineshKarthik using his improvisation perfectly not once but four times.

T20 World Cup 2024 is to be held in West Indies and America from June 2. Team India captain Rohit Sharma, seeing Karthik batting like this, also said in a funny tone that DK has to play the World Cup. Karthik has scored 143 runs in this season of IPL at a strike rate of more than 190. If Karthik continues to perform like this in the future, he can be selected in the T20 World Cup team. The Indian team for the World Cup is to be selected after the IPL.
Dinesh Karthik scored 38 runs in two overs of RCB fast bowler Akash Madhwal. Madhwal took 1 wicket for 57 runs in this match. Seeing Karthik’s master class innings, Rohit Sharma went to him and said, Well done DK! He has to push for selection in the T20 World Cup. The World Cup is on his mind. Rohit’s voice was recorded in the stump mic.
