IPL 2024: ‘I am 100 percent ready to play in T20 World Cup 2024,’ says Dinesh Karthik

The Hindu  

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik, who has been in phenomenal form in this Indian Premier League, has not given up on his dream to play for India again and would do “everything he can to be in that flight” to the T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies next month. There is nothing bigger in my life other than representing India in this T20 World Cup,” the Royal Challengers Bengaluru wicketkeeper-batters said ahead of the clash against Kolkata Knight Riders. With Karthik’s also emerging as a contender, the wicketkeeper slot will be a hotly-contested one for which the Team India think tank may pick two at the most. But all I can say is I’m 100 per cent ready, and I’ll do everything I can to be on that flight to the World Cup.” ‘I’m no Russell or Pollard’ Karthik further emphasised the importance of understanding his strengths as a player, focusing on precision rather than power-hitting like Andre Russell or Kieron Pollard.
