The IPL is a perfect platform where the youth gets a stage and experience make statements. RCB wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik has been his franchises’ crisis-man, each time in a tough run chase. With heavyweights like Kohli and Du Plessis present on the side, pundits expected Karthik to be more of an anchor who can play essential cameos in the death over. But the seasoned campaigner has been in sublime touch with top-quality bowling line-ups getting overpowered by DK’s blitzkrieg.
In the latest Instagram post by ICC, renowned sports presenter Sanjana Ganesan speaks to Dinesh Karthik about who he thinks is the best finisher in India at present. The Tamil Nadu cricketer put himself at the top of the charts with a smile and netizens can’t agree more.
In just 3 matches, DK has aggregated over 90 runs at a strike rate of over 200. In the high voltage clash against Rajasthan Royals, Karthik bagged the Player Of The Match for his unbeaten 44* off just 23 deliveries. His knock completely turned the tide in favor of RCB.

While many say that despite Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson being the frontrunners for the wicketkeeper batter position, to rule out DK from the race will be illogical. In his entire career, Karthik has played some memorable knocks in T20Is and IPL. Most have steered the team over the line even in the most crunch situations. Moreover, the OLD IS GOLD rhetoric seems to do wonders for RCB in IPL 15. And fans will, therefore, hope to watch more of DK’s explosive innings in the upcoming matches.
