Dinesh Karthik was upset after getting demoted, reveals Rohit Sharma
Dinesh Karthik is always ready to deliver whatever the situation may be and his experience and repertoire of strokes make him a suitable candidate to provide the final flourish for India at the death overs, skipper Rohit Sharma said. Wicket-keeper batsman Karthik, who has made sporadic international appearances, produced a last-ball six as India pulled off an incredible chase beating Bangladesh by four wickets in the Nidhas T20 Tri-series final in Colombo on Sunday. Lavishing praise on Karthik, Rohit said: "I have to go back to the kinds of shots that he has in his books - it suits him to finish off games at the death where you have to use that one fielder that is inside the circle - either fine leg, or mid-off or short third man. Washington Sundar alongwith Yuzvendra Chahal finished as the tournament's highest wicket-takers, with eight dismissals apiece and Rohit singled out the allrounder for special praise.
