IND vs SA 4th T20I match on Friday ended on a positive note for Team India, who won the match by 82 runs staying alive in the series. Till now, both the teams have won 2 matches each and will be exciting to see them clashing again on Sunday which will be a final match between the duo.
After the finish of the match, Dinesh expressed himself to be feeling secure in this particular set-up. Dinesh’s 55 runs innings from 27 deliveries proved out to be a life saver for the Indian team. Look at what Dinesh has said,
‘I am feeling very secure in this set-up. In the last game, things didn’t according to plan, but I went and expressed myself today”
He said this during the post-match presentation.
Now the statement made is a bit confusing because whether it was the set-up or the match, he played well are to separate things. However, he played his role well, that is what important. The Indian match innings was only good for Karthik but also for this year’s IPL winner captain, Hardik Pandya. He played a fantastic 46 run innings out off 31 deliveries.
Dinesh, for this success gave all his credit to the team coach Rahul Dravid due to his calm composure.
“Credit to Rahul Dravid; there is a certain sense of calmness. The dressing room is a calm place right now. It is important to learn to embrace pressure. It feels secure and fuzzy. That clarity and the environment helped”
Dinesh
Surprisingly, the first time Dinesh Karthik played against was the same team back in 2006 and was then declared the player of the match and this time as well.
The captain of Team Rishabh Pant came forward in praise for the two stating it as game changing moment. He said that as a team talked about execution and playing the best cricket out there which eventually worked out giving us all the positivity required. Speaking about himself, Rishabh said,
“As an individual, I can look to improve in certain areas. Not too concerned though. Looking to take positives and looking to improve. Let’s see what happens in Bangalore, looking forward to give our 100 percent”
