MS Dhoni retired from International cricket in 2020, and the Indian team is yet to find an able replacement finisher for him. But the recent form of the 37-year-old Dinesh Karthik suggests that he might be ready to fill those massive boots. Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri also batted for Karthik to be the finisher for the Indian team heading into the T20 World Cup.
The wicketkeeper batter made his debut for India in 2004 and was the hero of India’s first T20I win in 2006. Karthik’s time was limited with the national side due to the presence of one of the greatest finishers of the game in MS Dhoni. But the veteran batter has come into his own in recent times. His role for RCB in the recently concluded IPL was similar to that of Dhoni’s, as he donned the role of finisher for his side. Karthik has been rewarded a call-up to the national team after scoring 330 runs in 16 matches with an amazing strike rate of 183.33.
Ravi Shastri weighed his opinion on the matter and said that Karthik has to make the opportunity count in the upcoming T20I series against South Africa to remain in contention for the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year. “This is his opportunity. If and when he gets an opportunity in these games, he has to do it with India colors on. We know he has got the experience, so this becomes extremely vital,” Shastri told Star Sports.
You need a keeper who will perform MS Dhoni’s role, says Ravi Shastri
Although India has already got a mercurial wicketkeeper batter in Rishabh Pant, Shastri believes that the southpaw is more suited to batting up the order. He picked Karthik to do the job as a finisher, something Dhoni did for a long time.
“You have to see from the team’s point of view, what are they looking for? Do they want a keeper who will bat at the top of the order or do they want a keeper who will be the finisher? I will go for the latter. You need a keeper who will do MS Dhoni’s role, let’s put it that way. Ther.

Former India batter Gautam Gambhir said that there was no point in giving Dinesh Karthik a place in the India squad that will travel to Australia for the upcoming T20 World Cup if he is not picked in the playing XI. Following the former opener’s comments, Indian great Sunil Gavaskar said that Karthik is the “player India wants”.
Gavaskar wondered how one could see that he is not going to play, adding that players have to be picked based on their form and not reputation. He explained that as Karthik bats at No. 6 or 7, he cannot be expected to score a fifty regularly.
“I know people are talking about how can you include him in the team when he’s not going to play. How do you see he’s not going to be able to play? He could be the guy you want. You look at the form and not reputations, names and then you pick the guy,” said Gavaskar on Star Sports.

Sunil Gavaskar defends Dinesh Karthik's case for T20 World Cup And More Cricket News

Despite Karthik being in the form of his life, Sanjay Manjrekar reckons that the veteran wicketkeeper-batter’s performances will not be good enough to earn him a place in India’s Playing XI for the ICC T20 World Cup that is scheduled to be held in Australia in October-November this year. However, Manjrekar is optimistic about Karthik making it to the World Cup squad provided he maintains his current form.
Former Australian captain Ian Chappell has opined that England might be in trouble if Ben Stokes doesn’t show interest in leadership. Joe Root has stepped down from Test captaincy for England after the side’s dismal show in the last few series and a new skipper is yet to be named by ECB. In all possibilities, Stokes who has done the job at times in absence of Root is likely to take up the role.
Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul has been found guilty of maintaining a slow over-rate during the clash against Mumbai Indians on Sunday (April 24). As this was Rahul’s second offence of the season, he has been fined a sum of INR 24 lakh. At the same time, the other members of the LSG playing XI have been fined INR 6 lakh or 25 per cent of the match fee, whichever is lower.
It must be noted that Rahul will be handed a one-match ban if he commits another slow over-rate offence this season. In that case, he’ll also be fined INR 30 lakh. Besides Rahul, MI skipper Rohit Sharma is the only other captain to have committed this offence twice. Hence, the duo has a serious need to keep an eye on the clock in their upcoming assignments.

Ravi Shastri feels Umran Malik is not ready for T20 WC 2022 and More Cricket News

Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Riyan Parag feels he is capable of becoming a finisher for not just the franchise, but also for Team India. He was a part of the winning India U19 team in 2018, and the 20-year-old feels that he can achieve much more as he moves further in his career.
Parag made his IPL debut in the year 2019 when he was roped in by the Rajasthan Royals and has been representing the franchise since. He was released ahead of the mega auction but was brought back at INR 3.80 CR for the IPL 2022. The young gun feels that he can work hard to become India’s best finisher in the upcoming seasons.
In his interaction with CricTracker, he said: “I don’t want to praise myself too much, but I think I can be the best finisher not just for Rajasthan Royals but for India in years to come. I have got the skill-set, I’ve got all-rounder abilities and not just batting, fielding and bowling as well.”
“Yes, I’ve got a lot to work on and I’ve got to be consistent. I’ve got to work a lot on a lot of areas but I firmly believe that I can do it for the Rajasthan Royals team and the country as well,” he added as he stated his goals in the game.
Parag has 364 runs in 34 IPL matches so far, at a strike rate of 120.13 and an average of 15.83. He’s also recognized for his spin bowling, despite the fact that he only has three IPL wickets to show for it. Parag also has leadership experience, having captained his native team, Assam, in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for a few seasons.
Rajasthan Royals have started off very well in the tournament, winning three out of the four games played. They are the table toppers with six points to their name in four games and are facing Gujarat Titans in their ongoing encounter at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

The Chennai Super Kings beat Mumbai Indians by three wickets in their IPL 2022 clash at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on April 21. Thus, CSK registered their second victory of the ongoing season while Mumbai’s winless streak continued with their playoff hopes quickly diminishing.
The battle between the arch-rivals went right down to the wire and it was the MS Dhoni show that helped the defending champions get past the finish line in a last-ball thriller. Meanwhile, Dhoni’s former India and CSK teammate Suresh Raina came forward and gave him a special mention.
Taking to Twitter Suresh Raina posted two images. One of them featured skipper Ravindra Jadeja bowing down to Dhoni while the other showed the CSK skipper hitting the winning runs. “The most awaited match of the tournament #CSKvMI. A much needed innings by our very own @msdhoni bhai at the end, always a delight to watch! Congratulations to the whole #CSK team on another massive win,” Raina wrote.
Coming back to the contest, Tilak Varma’s 43-ball 51 helped Mumbai Indians in posting a respectable total of 155/7. In reply, the Mumbai bowlers ensured that CSK struggled right from the beginning despite chasing a manageable target. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were reduced to 88/4 in the 13th over after in-form Shivam Dube‘s dismissal.
With the asking rate getting steeper at the death overs, MI bowlers applied the stranglehold on CSK and it appeared that the former might finally earn their first two points. However, Dhoni ensured that the five-time champions had to wait another day as he played the finisher’s role to perfection.
The veteran stumper hit pacer Jaydev Unadkat for 14 runs which included a six and two fours in the last over. He scored the winning boundary on the final ball to hand CSK an emphatic win and remained unbeaten on 28 runs from 13 deliveries at an outstanding strike rate of 215.4.

Former team India head coach Ravi Shastri has opined that Test cricket should be limited to only the top six teams in the format. The former head coach also stated that the format should not be limited to only six teams but other sides need to qualify for being part of the top six.
Indian women’s team skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is all geared up to lead the team in the upcoming Commonwealth Games 2022 that gets underway on Friday, July 29. India will be facing the reigning World T20 Champions Australia in the curtain-raiser.
England all-rounder Sam Curran has said that he tries to copy star all-rounder Ben Stokes as the 24-year-old considers Stokes as his idol. The left-handed batter who has returned to England’s squad after recovering from an injury has admitted the fact that Stokes has left a big void to fill but he is not looking too far ahead now.

What Ravi Shastri Said About Test Cricket And More Cricket News

One of the finest fast bowlers going around at the moment, Shaheen Afridi showcased his batting prowess on Monday (February 21) and left the cricket world stunned. Lahore Qalandars, chasing 159 against Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 2022, looked entirely down and out after being reduced to 94/6 in 14.4 overs. However, in walked their skipper and played a sensational knock.
With the help of four maximums and two fours, Shaheen smashed an unbeaten 39 off 20 deliveries as the game ended in a tie. His efforts, however, went in vain as the Peshawar-based side sealed the game in the super over. Nonetheless, Shaheen’s blitzes with the bat earned massive praises from different quarters. Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi was among many to laud the youngster.
Rohit Sharma’s full-time tenure as India’s limited-overs skipper has got off to a dream start as the Men In Blue registered a second straight T20I series whitewash with a 17-run triumph against the West Indies in the third game at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Sunday, February 20. By the virtue of this win, the Indian team registered a third consecutive home bilateral limited-overs series whitewash as well under Rohit’s captaincy.
As the Hitman’s leadership career looks forward to taking Indian cricket to greater heights, his good friend as well as veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has talked about the challenges that the star opener will be facing after recently being appointed as India’s all-format captain. At the same time, Karthik has made it clear that the 34-year-old is well ahead of the game when it comes to tactics.
Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh took to social media on Tuesday (February 22) and penned a heartfelt note for Virat Kohli. Yuvraj and Kohli have played a lot of cricket together and are known to share a great bond. Although the two aren’t teammates anymore, their camaraderie remains intact. The same was evident in Yuvraj’s special post for the former

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik, who has been in superlative form in the IPL 2022 season for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, has made it to the Indian squad for the T20I series against South Africa at home. The 36-year-old last played for India in the 2019 World Cup semi-final and his finishing abilities this season have impressed one and all. The right-hander has accumulated 287 runs with an average of 57.40 and played some match-winning innings.
Since making his international debut in 2004, Karthik has been in and out of the Indian team and has played in the shadows of legendary MS Dhoni. From being a top-order batter, Karthik has been adapting to different roles for the side and he was picked up specifically for the finisher’s role in the IPL 2022 mega auction by the RCB franchise. He managed to do justice with the decision and showed his class the side in pressure situations.
Meanwhile, Karthik mentioned about the importance of self-belief to accomplish any feat and showed gratitude towards his supporters. He added that he will continue his hard work in the years to come. Karthik has been picked up as one and the three wicketkeeping options in the squad alongside Rishabh Pant and Ishan Kishan. He is definitely on the radar to make it to the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. “If you believe yourself, everything will fall into place! Thank you for all the support and belief…the hard work continues…,” Karthik tweeted.
