Indian wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik offered his views on the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup. The Indian cricketer who also works as a commentator for Sky Sports, appeared on ICC’s digital view. During that appearance, Karthik predicted the highest run-scorers in ICC T20 World Cup 2021.
In his opinion, there will be a tough fight between Indian vice-captain Rohit Sharma and Australian opener David Warner. Dinesh stated that both are hungry, and both will get enough number of deliveries to become the number one batsman in terms of most runs scored in ICC T20 World Cup.
Also both batsmen know the conditions in the United Arab Emirates well. Here’s a look at what Dinesh Karthik replied when asked about the prediction for the highest run-scorer in ICC T20 World Cup:
“Both of them open the innings. Both of them are solid players. I would put money on either one of them. Both are very hungry. Rohit Sharma and World Cups, they’re synonymous. They just love each other. They find ways to help each other out. If India are to do well he is somebody who needs to fire for them up top. David Warner hasn’t played cricket for Australia for some time now. A hungry David Warner is a scary David Warner. He will come all guns blazing. I’m expecting some big things from him.”
David Warner, Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik will be in action during IPL 2021
Dinesh Karthik is unlikely to represent the Indian cricket team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. But Karthik will represent the Kolkata Knight Riders in the second phase of IPL 2021, set to be played before the ICC T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma will lead the Mumbai Indians in the competition, while David Warner is a member of the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad.
It will be interesting to see if Dinesh Karthik’s prediction proves to be right. Warner and Rohit will be the batsmen to watch out for in the upcoming months.
