Dinesh Karthik, the veteran Indian cricketer, is in sublime form in the IPL 2022 and everybody is just going gaga over the manner in which he has emerged as a finisher for his IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore in the tournament. Earlier Dinesh Karthik led Kolkata Knight Riders but he was replaced by Eoin Morgan after poor performance of the team and the franchise released him ahead of the mega-auction for the IPL 2022.
RCB bought the wicketkeeper-batsman for a price of Rs. 5.5 crore and it won’t be wrong to say that he is trying his level best to justify his purchase. RCB has won three out of five matches that it played and Dinesh Karthik has remained not out four times till now with the scores of 32*, 14*, 44*, 7* and 34. Many cricket fans are of the opinion that DK should get a call in the national team as he may end India’s search of a finisher and will certainly increase the chances of India winning the T20 World Cup.
Not just Dinesh Karthik’s teammates but many former cricketers such as Ravi Shastri, Sunil Gavaskar and others have praised him for his brilliant knocks. However, one appreciation that Karthik is cherishing the most is made by none other than the legendary former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
In a video which has been uploaded on 100MB app and YouTube, Sachin Tendulkar says that RCB has a very lethal player in its lower order in the form of Dinesh Karthik who is a 360 degree player whether he plays against spin or pace. Sachin Tendulkar further states that when DK starts attacking, he begins from the very first ball and he doesn’t make his mind early for hitting the ball, first he reads the line and length of the ball and then he plays the shot accordingly. Sachin Tendulkar also adds that there are very few batsmen in the cricket world in the present times who can read the line and length of ball as quick as DK.
Here is the video clip in which you can hear Sachin Tendulkar praising Dinesh Karthik and it is posted with the caption,
“‘There are not many right now who are picking up line & length of a bowler so quickly like @DineshKarthik has been doing’
Watch what @sachin_rt had to say about Dinesh Karthik’s unreal form! 🔥

Undoubtedly it is one of the proudest moments of DK’s life and he responded with, “That feeling of being on cloud 9 when the G.O.A.T of cricket appreciates you”.
