Two giants clash over Dinesh Karthik, debate on T20 World Cup selection

Dinesh Karthik created a sensation in the cricket world by playing an inning of 83 runs in 35 balls in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. After such explosive batting at the age of 38, the demand for his selection in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024 has started rising. Earlier, Karthik had made a lot of headlines by scoring 53 runs in 23 balls against Mumbai Indians. In a show, there was a heated argument between Ambati Rayudu and Irfan Pathan regarding Dinesh Karthik.

Karthik will get a place in the World Cup

Earlier, Ambati Rayudu had said that he has known Dinesh Karthik since childhood. He is very talented and has always played under the guidance of Mahi Bhai. He did not get regular opportunities. According to Rayudu, Karthik has the last chance to become a match winner for India. But Irfan Pathan does not agree with this statement. Irfan praised Karthik’s form but said there is a different kind of pressure in the World Cup because the world’s best bowlers are bowling there instead of uncapped players. Irfan also said that there is no rule of impact players in the World Cup, you can bring any player in the team whenever you want.

Heated debate between the two players

During this, Rayudu said that Karthik is a very mature player and has been playing cricket for 20 years. But Irfan also retaliated. There was a lot of squabbling between the two. Irfan Pathan said that if Rishabh Pant was not in form, Karthik’s name could have been considered, but Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma are also ahead of him. But at the end of this entire discussion, both agreed that in the end the victory of the Indian team is most important, no matter who plays the match-winning innings.
