This is my most special comeback: Dinesh Karthik

Kolkata
Wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik feels his latest recall to the Indian team is his ”most special comeback” of a rollercoaster international career that began way back in 2004.
Karthik made the squad for India’s home T20 series against South Africa beginning June 9.
”This is my most special comeback because a lot of people had given up on me. For me to come back and do what I did, practice the way I did, so many special things have happened in the lead up to the rock-shell and how I practiced post that,” the 36-year-old told the RCB website.
Karthik forced the selectors to pick him after displaying exemplary finishing skills in the IPL. He had last played for India in the 2019 ODI World Cup.
He praised the Royal Challengers Bangalore team management for backing him strongly for the finisher’s role.
”I think the clarity that they gave me for me to execute the role that I wanted to do, in many ways, I am indebted to RCB for picking me and giving me that role, believing in me and then me coming out here and trying to do my best for team RCB. So, it’s all and all a very very happy feeling.” The main goal for Karthik is to play in the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.
