It all happened in daze: Dinesh Karthik on batting promotion in 2019 WC semifinal against New Zealand

Wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik said he was surprised after he was asked to bat at No.5 in the semifinal of 2019 World Cup against New Zealand. The team management decided to promote Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik in the batting order. "It came as a bit of a surprise because they had made it very clear that I would be batting at number seven," Karthik told Cricbuzz. India fell short by 18 runs and crashed out of the tournament while New Zealand progressed into the final where they lost to eventual champions England via controversial boundary count rule.
