IND vs SA 4th T20I: Dinesh Karthik has been a revelation ever since he joined Royal Challengers Bangalore and assumed the role of a finisher. After a successful IPL 2022 campaign with the bat, the 39-year-old received a Team India call-up for the T20I series against South Africa and has now justified his selection with a thunderous fifty in the 4th T20I.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After team India were in a spot of bother with 4 wickets lost for just 81 runs in 13 overs, Dinesh Karthik & Hardik Pandya held the crease as they had the onus to lead India to a fightable total in a must-win game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Dinesh & Hardik shined with the bat as these two etched a partnership of 65 runs for the 5th wicket. In the 18th over, the Indian finisher took on South African pacer Dwaine Pretorius, smacking consecutive boundaries. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pretorius started the over with a fullish length delivery as Dinesh Karthik walked across the stumps, got under the delivery and dispatched it for a clean six over deep square leg. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
On the second delivery, the South African bowler bowled a slow and short delivery outside off. DK cut it behind square on the off-side as Nortje fumbled and let the ball through his legs while running across from sweeper cover. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
