IND vs SA Live: Dinesh Karthik sizzles in the finisher role against South Africa
- The wicketkeeper-batter smoked a 21-ball unbeaten 30 runs in the second T20I against South Africa in Cuttack
- Karthik took his time to start but was up and running in the last two overs. At one stage India were struggling to get 150
- The 37-year-old’s cameo helped India post a respectable total of 149 for 6 in the 20 overs
- As Kapil Dev pointed out, Karthik has loads of experience playing at the international level
- Currently, India has only Hardik Pandya as the team’s designated finisher. But with Karthik acing the finisher role, he could well possibly play the T20 World Cup 2022 in the same role
