From then and till now, also consciously trying to stay in the process of what we have done in the past, and not worry so much whether he plays for India or he gets an opportunity.” For most T20 specialists, the role of a finisher is set – they are sent into the middle with specific target of playing a certain number of balls. “Everyone knew DK as a guy who overthinks, yes he overthinks but you can always get someone to think slightly lesser or structure their thought process but it is very difficult to get someone who doesn’t think to think, it is a much harder process.” In India’s first-ever T20 international, against South Africa at Johannesburg, Karthik was the man of the match.
