He will turn up for RCB in IPL 2023, which starts on March 31.

Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik empathised with KL Rahul who is currently going through a dry spell in terms of runs, stating that he himself has experienced a lot of bad days throughout his career as well.
The 37-year-old feels that KL Rahul will definitely come back stronger but might need some time away from the game.&nbsp;
Karthik said that he too has had days where he went to the washroom to shed a tear or two.
"This is a professional world, you've got to deal with those sorrowful moments but as a player when I look at what he has gone through. When you get out that way knowing very well this could have been your last innings. It has happened to me when you go into the dressing room, quietly walk into the toilet, and shed a tear or two. It's not a nice feeling because there's not much you can do," Karthik said.
The 37-year-old wicketkeeper-batter also said that Shubman Gill should open the innings alongside Rohit Sharma in Indore and Ahmedabad.
Rahul, who has scored a total of 38 runs in the first two Tests, has also been removed as Rohit Sharma's deputy for the final two matches.

Karthik said, "I thought I was the only one so then I asked Kohli, Rohit and they are all legends of the game and they all said they hate playing Shami."

During a show on Cricbuzz, DK added, 'The one thing that goes against Rahul is the fact that he has played over 40 Tests and his average is just mid-30s. That is not acceptable for an opener.'

T20 World Cup 2022: Top 5 Indian stars to watch out for

The men who could bring home the #T20WorldCup glory for Team India 

Here are the 5 Indian players to watch out for at the marquee event in Australia.

The Indian team is packed with powerful players who are individually capable of turning the tide on their day.

Team India is always one of the favourites in any tournament they play in and T20 World Cup 2022 is no different. The Indian team is packed with powerful players who are individually capable of turning the tide on their day.
<h3>Here are 5 players who other teams should be wary of:</h3>
<h3>Suryakumar Yadav</h3>
The first name that comes to everyone's mind when talking about match-winners is that of Suryakumar Yadav. Th2 32-year-old has taken the cricketing world by storm with his 360-degree shot range and isn't afraid to go hell for leather from ball 1. Surya has been in sublime form and is the highest run-getter in T20I in 2022. In 23 innings in the shortest format, he has smashed 801 runs at a whopping strike rate of almost 185. He also scored a hundred and 6 half-centuries during those knocks.&nbsp;

<h3>Virat Kohli</h3>
Making a list of best players and not having Virat Kohli on it would be a sin. Once struggling to find his mojo back, the former India skipper is back to his best. In the last 10 T20Is, Virat has smashed 404 runs including his 71st international hundred and 3 half-centuries. His average of almost 58 and strike rate of over 140 are also impressive. Apart from his batting, Kohli's experience on the field will also come in handy for the Men in Blue.
<h3>Dinesh Karthik</h3>
Dinesh Karthik has become a revelation in the past few months and emerged as the finisher that Team India needed ever since MS Dhoni's retirement. IPL 2022 proved to be the turning point in his career where he smashed 330 runs in 16 innings at a strike rate of over 183. Moreover, his strike rate in the last 7 T20Is is 222.22 which speaks for itself.&nbsp;
<h3>Arshdeep Singh</h3>
Not many believed that a kid from Punjab would be India's biggest hope in bowling at the T20 World Cup but most fans have pinned their belief on Arshdeep Singh following his recent exploits. The 23-year-old has not only taken wickets up front but has been lethal with his yorkers in the death. The fast bowler has already taken 19 wickets in 13 T20Is he has played in. In Jasprit Bumrah's absence, it's Arshdeep Singh who will have to bear the burden of over a billion dreams.
<h3>Hardik Pandya</h3>
One man who can change the game on its head with both bat and ball for India is Hardik Pandya. May it be giving the Men in Blue a strong finish or being a golden arm to break a partnership, Hardik is always up for the challenge. Upon his return from injury, Hardik was judged as the player of the 3-match T20 series in Australia last year. The Baroda lad also guided Gujarat Titans to their maiden IPL title this year. His form with the bat is second to none in 2021. In 19 T20Is this year, Hardik has smashed 436 runs at a strike rate of over 155.&nbsp;

November 5th is the Indian batting Maestro's born day, and the cricket fans and his colleagues can't keep calm.

Couldn't wait for 5th November!': Wishes storm social media as Virat Kohli turns 34

Wishes pour in on Social media as the Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli turns 34 today!

From Shahnawaz Dahani to Glenn Maxwell, the cricket fraternity and fans wish the ex-Indian captain 'Happy Birthday'

November 5th is the Indian batting Maestro's born day, and the cricket fans and his colleagues can't keep calm.

A modern-day great, India's run machine, one of the most fear-inspiring batters across the world, Virat Kohli, turns 34 today.&nbsp; After an almost 3-year-long dip in form, Kohli returned to form, and how! During the Asia Cup 2022 he smashed his first 100 in the shortest format of the game, his 71st across formats, since then the batting maestro has not disappointed the cricket fans. A revitalised Kohli has been India's backbone in their T20 World Cup campaign Down Under. November 5th is the Indian batting Maestro's born day, and the cricket fans and his colleagues can't keep calm. Wishes stormed social media from across the cricketing fraternity as the ex-Indian skipper turned a year older. It was a special day for Team India as their mental conditional coach Paddy Upton also celebrates his birthday today. BCCI shared a heartwarming video of them celebrating their birthdays together.&nbsp; While Glenn Maxwell led the birthday wishes as he wished the prolific Indian batter a day in advance. 'I just wish a very happy birthday to one of my very good friends Virat Kohli', Maxwell said on live TV after his team's 4-run win against Afghanistan on Friday.&nbsp; Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh shared a heartwarming video on Virat Kohli's big day, Dinesh Karthik wished him with a touching message on Twitter that read, 'He's the one who believes when no one else does!' Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Suresh Raina, Pakistan's Shahnawaz Dahani, and Anuj Rawat, all wished Kohli a happy birthday.&nbsp; AB de Villiers had a special message for Virat Kohli that his IPL franchise Royal ChallengersBangalore shared on their Twitter page. In the video, ABD said, 'You are one hell of a cricket player but you are a much better human being'&nbsp; Kohli who was a part of the 2011 World Cup-winning team and the 2013 Champions Trophy-winning team in the game against Bangladesh became the highest run-scorer in the history of the ICC T20 World Cup.&nbsp;

India has dominated Bangladesh in the shortest format of the game and has won 10 of the 11 T20I between the two sides

T20 World Cup 2022: India vs Bangladesh preview, Adelaide weather forecast, Playing XI

After their first loss at the T20 World Cup 2022 against South Africa, Team India will be eager to get back to winning ways as Rohit Sharma's men take on Bangladesh in Adelaide on November 2

Here is the preview, Adelaide weather update and playing XI predictions

India has dominated Bangladesh in the shortest format of the game and has won 10 of the 11 T20I between the two sides

After their first loss at the T20 World Cup 2022 against South Africa, Team India will be eager to get back to winning ways as Rohit Sharma's men take on Bangladesh in Adelaide on November 2.
Though Bangladesh have won 2 of their 3 games so far, but both those victories came against low ranked Zimbabwe and Netherlands. Never the less, the Bangla Tigers have proved time and again that they are no pushovers and Team India aren't taking them lightly.
India may posses a lethal fast bowling unit but batting has been a little concerning. While Rohit Sharma has just 1 score of over 50 in his last 9 T20I innings, KL Rahul has looked a mere shadow of himself in this tournament.
Virat Kohli back to his vintage best and Suryakumar Yadav in top touch makes of a very solid middle order but 2 back-to-back failures by Dinesh Karthik has been the talk of the town. With him not a 100% fit, Rishabh Pant might be considered for the game vs Bangladesh.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
India has dominated Bangladesh in the shortest format of the game and has won 10 of the 11 T20I between the two sides. Interestingly, this will be the 1st time that the two teams lock horns in this format in almost 3 years.
ADELAINE WEATHER FORCAST
T20 World Cup has seen rain play spoil sport in many games and showers are expected in India vs Bangladesh game as well. While there were thunderstorms in Adelaide on Tuesday, there's 75% chance of rain on the match day. But with just 1-3mm rainfall, the match is not likely to be entirely washed out.

Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag said Rishabh Pant should have been playing for India in place of Dinesh Karthik since the beginning, as he has performed well in Austalia

'Karthik kab Australia me khele? Ye koi Bangalore ka wicket nahi hai': Sehwag takes a dig at Dinesh Karthik

After India's 5-wicket loss to South Africa, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag questioned the selection of Dinesh Karthik over Rishabh Pant in the team

Here are the details

"Rishabh Pant should’ve been in the XI from the start"-Virender Sehwag, after Karthik's poor performance 

Karthik scored 6 runs off 15 balls as he failed to provide momentum to the Indian innings vs South Africa

After India's 5-wicket loss to South Africa, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag questioned the selection of Dinesh Karthik over Rishabh Pant in the team. Karthik scored 6 runs off 15 balls as he failed to provide momentum to the Indian innings.
DK was selected for his exploits as a finisher for the T20 world cup. But with him struggling on Australian pitches, Sehwag questioned Pant's exclusion from the team even after his excellent performance with the bat in those conditions.&nbsp;
"Dinesh Karthik kab Australia me khele hain? Ye koi Bangalore ki wicket nahi hai," said Sehwag during the post-match show on Cricbuzz
The former India captain backed Rishabh Pant to be in the playing XI and added "I said this even today that Pant should've been in the team instead of Hooda, Pant has the experience of playing here."
Pant came on as a substitute wicket-keeper for Karthik for the last five overs, as the latter was facing some problems with his back.&nbsp;
As India next take on Bangladesh, it will be interesting to see if the selectors give Rishabh Pant a chance over DK.

Rishabh Pant could replace the senior wicket-keeper batter if he is unable to get fit before the Bangladesh game, which is scheduled to take place on Wednesday

Wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik will be a doubtful starter for Team India's match in T20 World Cup after sustaining a back injury during the South Africa game.
 Rishabh Pant could replace the senior wicket-keeper batter if he is unable to get fit before the Bangladesh game, which is scheduled to take place on Wednesday.
 However, while talking to PTI, a BCCI official said that the medical team is working to get Karthik fit and it is unwise to rule him out as of now.

 If Karthik fails to get fit on time then Pant's inclusion in the team could come as a blessing in disguise given the southpaw has a tremendous record in Australia.
 Also, Karthik, India's designated finisher, failed to make any impression in three matches so far. He has scored 1 and 6 in the two innings in the ongoing T20 World Cup.

Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has penned down a heartfelt note for his Indian team skipper Rohit Sharma on his social media account. The 37-year-old had played with Rohit Sharma in the 2007 World Cup

Dinesh Karthik pens heartfelt note for Indian skipper Rohit Sharma

Ahead of the #INDvPAK clash, Dinesh Karthik wrote a heartfelt message for his Indian team captain Rohit Sharma.

With his comeback to the Indian cricket team, Dinesh Karthik has earned praise from former cricketers on his ability to compete at 37 years of age.&nbsp;

Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has penned down a heartfelt note for his Indian team skipper Rohit Sharma on his Instagram account. The 37-year-old had played with Rohit Sharma in the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 and the duo will be playing together, 15 years later, in this T20 World Cup Down Under.
"For a man who went through all this, believed in me and always had time for me and showed me there is light at the end of the tunnel for that I'm ever grateful, that for me is @rohitsharma4," wrote Karthik, along with a heart emoji.&nbsp;
Karthik also thanked former Australian cricket team captain Ricky Ponting as he heaped praise on Dinesh Karthik, applauding the character he has shown to come back into the Indian squad after a long time, in an ICC video.
"Easily one of my favvv cricketers growing up and I loved every minute I spent with him during my time with MI. A champion leader and an astute reader of the game and the fiercest competitor you could meet and I love that about him," Karthik further added about Ricky Ponting in the same post.&nbsp;
Ponting admitted that he is pleased and amazed with Karthik's career trajectory as at one point a couple of years back, it looked like the 37-year-old's career was over in all three formats.&nbsp;

Should India prefer Rishabh Pant over Dinesh Karthik? Suresh Raina answers

Rishabh Pant or Dinesh Kartik? 
Who should be in India's XI at the T20 World Cup?
Suresh Raina makes his pick.



Praising Rishabh Pant's record in Australia, Raina explained that a left-right combination can upset the rhythm, especially in Australia where the grounds are big.

Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina feels the presence of Rishabh Pant in the Indian team is crucial for the success of Men in Blue at the T20 World Cup Down Under. &nbsp;
Calling the 25-year-old the 'X factor when playing alongside Hardik Pandya' in the middle, Raina in his interview with PTI highlighted the importance of the left-handed batter.&nbsp;
Responding to a query about Dinesh Karthik being preferred over Pant as the wicket-keeper batter in the Playing XI, he said, 'You need to bring the X factor with Hardik Pandya, and who can be the X factor? I think Rishabh being a left-hander could be better'
While Pant is part of the 15-member squad, his place in the playing XI is in doubt despite being the only left-handed batter till No. 6
Praising the southpaw's record in Australia, Raina further explained that a left-right combination can upset the rhythm, especially in Australia where the grounds are big. 'Pant has done really well in Australia and won the Test series there' he added.&nbsp;

As Team India bagged a stupendous 16-run victory in their 2nd T20I against South Africa, Indian talisman Virat Kohli's selfless gesture to give the strike to teammate Dinesh Karthik for the last 2 balls while batting on 49 has won a lot of hearts yet

Virat Kohli's classy gesture to Karthik wins Indian hearts all over again

Virat Kohli's selfless gesture to Dinesh Karthik in the 2nd T20I is still ruling the internet after India completed a series-clinching victory on Sunday night.

Even as he was just a solitary run away from his fifty, Virat Kohli told Dinesh Karthik to play his game and not worry about handing over the strike for the final 2 balls.

As Team India bagged a series-clinching 16-run victory in the 2nd T20I against South Africa, Indian talisman Virat Kohli's selfless gesture to teammate Dinesh Karthik while batting on 49, is ruling the internet.
The 33-year-old was just one run shy from another half-century with India's score at 230 and two deliveries still left to play. However, when Dinesh Karthik asked Kohli if he should take a single, Virat Kohli told the keeper batsman to play his game and not worry about handing over the strike.
Karthik then went on to hit a six off the very next ball and took a single on a bye off the last ball to finish India's innings on an impressive 237/3.

Dinesh Karthik might have made his debut for Team India in September 2004 but his big dream finally came true 18 years later.
From being man of the match in India's first-ever T20I back in 2006 to being selected for the T20 World Cup 2022 squad in Australia, life has come full circle for DK.
'Dreams do come true', tweeted Karthik soon after he was picked for India's T20 World Cup 2022 side on Monday.
From being in and out of the international side to being never looked upon as a first-choice keeper for the national side ever since MS Dhoni made his international debut just 3 months after DK made it to Team India, it has been a roller coaster ride for the 37-year-old.
The man from Tamil Nadu never stopped believing. DK often reiterated his intentions of playing in the World T20 as he believed that he could be that finisher India badly needed. 
With Dhoni retired and Rishabh Pant not justifying his place in the T20I set-up, the selectors once again looked at Dinesh Karthik. But it didn't happen out of the blue.
DK learnt the tricks of the trade in commentary and was an instant hit. But it wasn't something he wanted to do full-time. KKR let go of DK ahead of the IPL mega auction last year and he was roped in by RCB which proved to be the turning point in his career.
Karthik smashed 330 runs at a whopping strike rate of over 180 IPL 2022 and bailed Bangalore out of trouble more often than not as a finisher. His efforts didn't go unnoticed as DK became a regular in India's T20 set-up.
He batted at number 7 for India 6 times in T20I in 2022 and averages 34. His strike rate of over 130 in that position is also impressive. 
DK would be eager to prove his metal in the T20 World Cup but no matter what happens then, it will go down in Indian cricket history as the mother of all comebacks.

He batted at number 7 for India 6 times in T20I in 2022 and averages 34. His strike rate of over 130 in that position is also impressive.&nbsp;
DK would be eager to prove his mettle in the T20 World Cup but no matter what happens then, it will go down in Indian cricket history as the mother of all comebacks.

WATCH: Dinesh Karthik's appreciation for Nagpur fans after India's win goes viral

Dinesh Karthik was amazed by the support of the Nagpur fans in and around the stadium for the 2nd #INDvAUS T20I, lauding them for their spirit, energy and passion.

Here's what he said in his post-match press conference.

The fanfare in Nagpur for India's 2nd T20I match against Australia amazed Indian batter Dinesh Karthik, who said he hadn't witnessed such a crowd for the game since before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Indian batter Dinesh Karthik lauded the Nagpur Cricket fans in his post-match press conference after India&rsquo;s 6-wicket win, stating that the energy and passion amongst the citizens were second to none.
Karthik, who finished the game off with a six and a four off his 2 deliveries, helped India level the 3-match T20I series 1-1.
Speaking after the match, Karthik had a special appreciation for the crowd, which he termed unbelievable, and said he was amazed by the fanfare in the city, something that he was seeing for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 37-year-old also said that both teams were happy to play even a shortened game despite the outfield issues due to the fans&rsquo; energy.
"The amount of people that were standing in the ground, we knew that it was a special occasion for us. After Covid, there have not been many situations where people have come and just been through the whole drive from the hotel to the ground," Karthik said in his post-match press conference.

Former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist has weighed in on the highly debated Pant vs Dinesh Karthik situation. Both Pant and Karthik have been named in India's T20 World Cup squad, but only one can start due to the batting-dominated roster the Indian team possesses.
Gilchrist's vote of confidence however, is in favour of the much younger Pant who has a particular edge because he is the only left-hander among India’s batting options for the competition.
'The dare of Rishabh Pant and the courage in him, the way in which he takes on bowling attacks, I think he's got to be a must in that Indian line-up,' Gilchrist was quoted as saying in an ICC release.
But just like his former skipper Ricky Ponting, the legendary wicket-keeper also said that he sees both of them starting together in the playing eleven.

"It'll be interesting to see if they can both play in the same team. I think they can. What they bring to a team … the versatility of Dinesh Karthik, he can play at the top of the order, he can, as he has done more so later in his career, be in the middle and late overs to finish. He has a really nice touch game," the former Australia wicketkeeper batter signed off.

On the eve of India and Pakistan’s Super 4 game, Indian head coach Rahul Dravid heaped praise on Virat Kohli who has struggled to put together a ton for almost 3 years now.
Dravid while addressing the press conference ahead of the megahit clash between the arch-rivals, said, ‘With Virat Kohli, people are obsessed with Statistics, for us, his stats are not important, but his contribution is.’He further gave information about Avesh Khan who he said was ‘under the weather’.
The pacer is currently unwell and might sit out for the 2nd round of Ind-Pak game in the ongoing Asia Cup. Dravid also shed light on Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant's saga during the Asia Cup opener. While the team went ahead with Karthik’s experience, Pant was left out in India’s first game vs Pakistan in Asia Cup 2022. ‘There is no such thing as the first choice XI, against Pakistan in Dubai we thought Dinesh Karthik was a better option and went ahead with him’, Dravid said.
Speaking about the blockbuster India-Pakistan game, the India coach said, ‘Although it is a high pressure game, the focus for us will be our game only’
He further provided update about Ravindra Jadeja’s knee injury and said, 'the ace all-rounder has been ruled out of the Asia Cup of course, but I do not want to rule him out of T20 World Cup. However, a lot will depend on the severity of his injury’
India will first face Pakistan on September 4th before they lock horns with Sri Lanka & Afghanistan next week in the Super 4.

It came as a shocker, when Rohit Sharma announced Dinesh Karthik's name in the playing XI, leaving out much-fancied Rishabh Pant. But apparently, the team management who are keen on 'trying different combinations to find the best XI' chose experience over Rishabh Pant's enigma.  For Karthik, since his IPL resurgence, the numbers are on his side. Pant on the other hand does not have very impressive statistics when it comes to the shortest format of the game. Even before the blockbuster India-Pakistan game began, Dinesh Karthik, the seniormost in the team led the huddle discussion. Dinesh Karthik's strike rate is currently hovering around 140 in T20Is and Pant's is at around 126. The southpaw's recent T20I numbers also do not favour him. In 2022, Pant has played 13 matches so far averaging 26. The inclusion of Karthik, however, meant there were no left-handers in India's top 7, precisely the reason why they had to promote Ravindra Jadeja to try and unsettle the Pakistani bowlers.

While the skipper&rsquo;s experiment could not see the light of the day since the touted finisher Karthik only got to play a ball, it is yet to be seen if the Team management would stick to the playing XI for a couple of more matches or would back Rishabh Pant&rsquo;s fireworks on the field again.

Ever since MS Dhoni retired from international cricket, Rishabh Pant had to constantly prove his worth in the Indian team. And the wicketkeeper-batter continues to do so as Dinesh Karthik emerged as a perfect candidate for the finisher's job.
When asked about the potential threat he faced from DK over his spot in the India line-up for the Asia Cup, Pant was quoted as saying by Zee Hindustan that he and DK don't think on those lines. 'We as individuals always want to give our 100 per cent to the team. The rest depends on the coach and the captain and how the team could get an advantage from that,' added the southpaw.
Though Pant and Karthik have been part of India's T20 team since June, both have different roles. While Pant dons the wicketkeeping gloves, Karthik plays as a finisher.
