Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Dinesh Karthik has been in stunning form for the franchise. In their third match of the campaign against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday, he played a match-winning knock of 44* off just 23 deliveries to help RCB chase down their target of 170 runs.

Dinesh Karthik came at the crease when RCB was reeling at 87/5 after 12.3 overs, but put on a 67-run stand with Shahbaz Ahmed (45 off 26) to take his team over the finish line. Former India opener, Wasim Jaffer took to Twitter to praise Karthik, who has last year begun his commentary career as well.

There have been concerns over the batting form of Dinesh Karthik before the IPL 2022 as he witnessed a rough patch in the last couple of seasons. However, he has come back with a bang this year, putting to rest any questions about his abilities.

In RCB’s first match, against Punjab Kings (PBKS), Dinesh Karthik played a fiery knock of 32 off just 14 deliveries to help the team post a total of 205/2, although the Mayank Agarwal-led side was able to pull off a massive chase.

So far this season, operating majorly in the death overs, he has hit 90 runs off 44 deliveries and is yet to be dismissed.
