A few days ago, BCCI announced the squad for the upcoming T20I series against South Africa. The event will involve five T20I encounters and the Indian Team will be led by KL Rahul. Dinesh Karthik, who last played a T20I game back in 2019, has been selected for the tournament. Amidst this, an old picture of DK has gone viral on social media. In this article, we take a look as Dinesh Karthik’s old pic goes viral after he made his comeback to the Indian team.
Dinesh Karthik’s old pic goes viral
After not finding a place in Team India, although he was still active in domestic cricket, Dinesh Karthik took to commentating. He was part of the Sky panel and later shifted to Cribcuzz. DK found massive success in the role and he was an instant hit in the com-box. Many assumed that Dinesh might have given up hopes of playing for India and on similar lines, a graphic by Sky Sports showed that DK’s career had ended in 2019. That same picture has now gone viral after the 36-year-old made a comeback to the team. Here is a look at that picture:
Journey of Dinesh Kartik is so inspiring. From this to now playing world cup for the country, you can never write off anyone who never gives up, he thanked Rohit Sharma for believing in him too. @DineshKarthik ❤️ pic.twitter.com/F8yF14DQWZ

DK will be a terrific addition to Team India
The Tamil Nadu cricketer’s performances in the ongoing IPL have been the main reason for his comeback. In 14 games till now, DK scored 287 runs at a terrific strike rate of 191.33. In a few games, he pulled RCB out of a hole and led them to victory. Fitness-wise, too, DK is looking extremely comfortable.
Team India has struggled to find a suitable finisher, especially after the retirement of MS Dhoni. There are not many specialists available for this role and with the T20 World Cup coming up later this year, it is extremely helpful that DK is back to form. His game against pace is excellent and on Australian tracks, it will be useful. Therefore, DK is a terrific addition to Team India.
