Harbhajan Singh feels Team India made the right call to pick Dinesh Karthik ahead of Rishabh Pant
“Rishabh Pant, no doubt, has done very well even in Test cricket and one-dayers. He has been very good.”
But in this shortest format, he has not been an accomplished player. However, if you look at Dinesh Karthik, “his graph is only going upward. He has performed well.”
“In this format, in this form, there is no use keeping him on the bench. It’s time for Dinesh Karthik to play, he should play” he said in an interaction with Aajtak
“Rishabh Pant is young, he still has plenty of time left. However, Dinesh Karthik has only 1-2 years left and he should make the most of it,
“The team should also use Karthik’s form and make the most of it.”
“He can win a lot of matches, batting down the order. With Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik batting down the order, I think it’s going to be difficult for most opposition bowlers,” he added.
