Dinesh Karthik IPL 2024: There is some connection between Dinesh Karthik and Comeback. Whenever a big tournament is near, Karthik does something that starts talking about him. This time the T20 World Cup is to be played in West Indies and America in June-July. Before this, after seeing the way Karthik is batting in IPL 2024, everyone is saying that he has become a contender for the T20 World Cup.
The match was being played between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 11, RCB’s Karthik was batting and Rohit Sharma, standing in the slip, said during the match itself, Well done DK, the World Cup is still to be played. After hearing this, Karthik started smiling and continued batting. Karthik had played a stormy inning of 53 runs in 23 balls in that match.
Has Karthik staked claim to the T20 World Cup?
At the same time, in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday, he went one step ahead and the manner in which he hit fours and sixes in every corner of the field, at least made it difficult for wicketkeepers like Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Jitesh Sharma. Just for the time being but alarm bells have already been rung. Because Karthik has made it clear that he is playing his last IPL.
You can never rule Dinesh Karthik out of the game 🙌

Rohit had predicted about Karthik
The different avatar of Dinesh Karthik is visible in the IPL this time, one thing is certain that he has become a challenge for other players. Even though his age is 38 years. But, the open style in which he is playing makes it clear that Karthik still has the ability to play in the T20 format. In such a situation, the question is whether Rohit Sharma may have jokingly asked Dinesh Karthik about playing T20 World Cup. But, now Karthik has also entered the race somewhere.

Karthik was caught behind the wicket by T Natarajan on the last ball of the 19th over. When he was returning, the entire stadium stood up and applauded. Even though his inning of 83 runs could not lead the team to victory, Karthik definitely won hearts. RCB lost the match by 20 runs chasing the biggest target in IPL history.
