CRICKET
Dinesh Karthik was at his lethal best against Rajasthan Royals as he played a swashbuckling inning of 44* off 23 for RCB under pressure.
Dinesh Karthik found his groove once again for RCB as he smashed Rajasthan Royals bowlers left, right and centre at the Wankhede Stadium. Karthik was at his lethal best as he played the finisher's role again for his new franchise, that too, in the need of the hour.
The 36-year-old came out to bat when his side were reeling at 62/4, with a huge chase of 170 in the beckoning, but Dinesh Karthik did what he does best, he finished the job for RCB.
After his unbeaten knock which won RCB the game with 5 balls to spare, commentator and cricket expert Harsha Bhogle questioned the veteran about how his game had evolved over the years.
In reply, Karthik enthused that he's made an effort to make sure he remains on a competitive level, despite not playing as many matches nowadays as he used to earlier.
"I made a conscious effort to do justice to my effort this season, could have done better last year, I was making a conscious effort to tell myself I'm not done," he said.
