The big question currently doing rounds in the Indian camp is whether to persist with Dinesh Karthik or give Rishabh Pant again a chance in Playing XI vs England. Indication from Rohit Sharma’s PRESS Conference was that the team management is likely to bring in Dinesh Karthik in the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinal on Thursday.
