Rohit Sharma shares his thoughts on having Dinesh Karthik for the T20 CWC 2024

While the debate on who will take over as the wicketkeeper-batter for Team India in the T20 World Cup, Dinesh Karthik's name has been popped out all of a sudden amid a horde of wicketkeepers already on the list. Amid the debate, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma has offered his thoughts on having DK as the wicketkeeper for the tournament.

Rohit admitted that it would be difficult to convince MS Dhoni for the job, but he could certainly coax Dinesh Karthik for the role while in the US and the Caribbean.

“It will be hard to convince MS Dhoni for the T20 World Cup. He is sick and tired. He is coming to US to play golf, these days he is into golf. But DK [Dinesh Karthik] will be easier to convince,” Rohit Sharma told Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan in the latest episode of Club Praire Fire Podcast.

The 38-year-old wicketkeeper-batter has scored 226 runs at a strike rate of 205.45 in his six innings for the RCB. Additionally, during a recent RCB-MI game, Rohit and DK were spotted joking around, and this was captured on the stump mic. It remains to be seen, though, who the selectors will target for the important position behind the stumps.
