Dinesh Karthik said in the press conference ‘Hey I did not take any credit sir, Rohit Sharma did amazing batting. I got two balls of the last, tried what happened. Rohit Sharma has done amazing batting today. With the new ball it is not easy for world class bowlers to play that shot on that wicket. It shows how big a player Rohit Sharma is, not only in Indian cricket but in world cricket. He has a very good ability to play fast bowlers which makes him special.
Apart from this, Dinesh Karthik also talked about the playing XI combination. Karthik said, ‘Hardik being in the team is a luxury. He provides the right balance to the team.
Dinesh Karthik further said, ‘Today we needed four bowlers because a bowler could bowl a maximum of two overs. But we still had 5 options. It is a luxury to have a world class bowler in the form of Hardik Pandya. When Hardik Pandya is in the playing XI, the team seems to have a lot of balance. In this case, you can feed an extra bowler or batter. There are very few players in world cricket who provide this kind of balance to the team. Axar Patel is also following this path now. Because of this Rishabh Pant played today, although he did not get a chance to bat.
