Karthik's superb display in IPL 2022
In the IPL 2022 season, Dinesh Karthik made significant contributions with the bat, scoring a total of 330 runs in 16 matches at an average of 55 and a strike rate of 183.33. Notably, Karthik finished not out in 10 of these innings, showcasing his ability to steer his team to strong finishes. His impressive performance earned him a spot in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2022, a selection seen as a reward for his batting achievements in the cash-rich tournament.
However, Karthik's performance in the T20 World Cup held in Australia did not meet expectations. He was given the opportunity to bat in four matches, managing to score just 1 run against Pakistan, did not bat against the Netherlands, and scored 6 runs against South Africa and only 7 runs against Bangladesh.
