India vs South Africa | Dinesh Karthik picked to deliver at the backend, says head coach Rahul Dravid
India TodayIndia head coach Rahul Dravid on Tuesday, June 7 said Dinesh Karthik has been given clarity about his role, adding that the senior national team is expecting him to play the finisher's role in the backend of an innings. Dinesh Karthik is back with the Indian national team for the first time since the 2019 World Cup It has been a remarkable route back to the national team set-up for Karthik after it looked like the senior wicketkeeper-batter had fallen out of favour after the World Cup. Karthik made his intentions clear during his RCB stint in IPL 2022, saying he has been working hard to return to the senior national side and help the team end their World Cup drought. Notably, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, who was with Karthik in the UK during their commentary stint last year, had revealed how eager the wicketkeeper-batter was to return to the senior national team set-up.
