Dinesh Karthik, IND vs NZ 2nd T20: Dinesh Karthik, the first-choice wicket-keeper of Team India in T20 World Cup 2022, has been rested. Dinesh Karthik is not a part of Team India in the series being played against New Zealand.
Amidst all this, he has given such a statement which is being mentioned everywhere. Karthik has raised the demand to feed a player of the team as an opener in T20.
This Player Got Place As An Opener in T20
Due to Dinesh Karthik being in T20 World Cup 2022, Rishabh Pant did not get many chances to play 11. Dinesh Karthik now believes that Rishabh Pant should get a place as an opener in T20 cricket. He also said that Pant cemented his place in Test and ODI cricket.
Dinesh Karthik Raised This Demand
Dinesh Karthik said during a conversation with Cricbuzz, ‘Can we give him (Rishabh Pant) a chance to open? Because we know his ability to play shots. When the match starts, we should give him a chance at that time.
He can prove to be effective in powerplay. The exciting thing is that he has the highest strike rate when he opens. He likes to put the bowlers under pressure. When it comes to playing a stroke, he is second to none.
Can Get A Chance In New Zealand Series
Many veterans have also raised the demand to play Team India’s wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant as an opener in this series. He has also opened for Team India, although Rishabh Pant has not been very successful as an opener. He was also included in the official warm-up match of the T20 World Cup 2022 as an opener; in these matches, Rishabh Pant proved to be a flop.
