Virat Kohli, who has been named by his IPL husband so far, believes that his teammate from the Royal Challengers Bangalore group Dinesh Karthik has strongly justified another return to India with his star appearance in the T20 tournament.

Karthik, who played the finisher role for RCB, had the highest rate of punches among the leading runners in the tournament, scoring 197 runs in six innings at 209.57. He was fired only once in the tournament.

On Saturday night, he beat 66 undefeated from 34 balls, while RCB beat Delhi Capitals with 16 runs.

Speaking to Karthik on iplt20.com, Kohli said it was a pleasure and an honor to watch the goalkeeper perform his duties in the competition.

I’ve been here with a male IPL for me so far … It’s been wonderful. I’m not going to say ‘let it go on for long’ because it will be, and you’re in this space and I see it. I was honored to have you again watch you not drown. Thank you for getting us across the line, “Kohli said.

The former India captain has said his long-time teammate at RCB AB de Villiers will also be proud of Karthika for finishing the franchise games like the South African did.

“I am very happy that DK is so clear in their goals. I can tell you for sure that you have presented very strong evidence that you have progressed in playing T20 cricket not only for RCB, but I am sure many people have noticed the highest level as well. .

“You mentioned it. I think AB will be very proud to watch from Pretoria, sit at home and watch how you finish the matches for us and take the team across the line,” he added.

Karthik last played for India at the 2019 ODI World Cup. The 36-year-old has been accustomed to returning since making his debut in 2004. He has played 36 tests, 94 ODIs and 32 T20 Internationals.
