Dinesh Karthik played the innings of his life, in a match which went right down to the wire. After the dismissal of Manish Pandey and low lying Vijay Shankar at other end, India was in desperate need of a big over which was eventually provided by DK, who blasted 22 runs of the 19th over to put India on the doorstep of victory. In a tense last over, India needed 5 of the last ball and Karthik kept his nerves when it mattered the most to hit a six and give India an emphatic victory in the summit clash. Twitterverse went berserk with Dinesh Karthik’s performance in Nidahas trophy finals 2018. Here’s how they reacted.
Dinesh Karthik made his debut before Dhoni. But he is still only 32 and batting better than ever before. Could well be a wonderful second wind for him if he can keep his form from the last 2 years

Thanks to Dinesh Karthik hitting straight on their face, Bangladeshis will now do Thobda Dance instead of Cobra Dance.

And that is why, at this point, with due respect to MS, Dinesh Karthik is easily India’s best wicket-keeper batsman in T20Is. #NidahasTrophy2018
