Veteran Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik thanked the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and its fans for helping him to achieve his dream after he was named in India’s squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.
Karthik recently played in the Asia Cup 2022 and now he is all set to represent the country in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia next month, which was his dream ever since he made a comeback to the Indian cricket team following his impressive show for RCB in the IPL 2022.
The dream was come true because of the RCB, who gave him that freedom and clarity about his role as a finisher to flourish in the IPL 2022, where the 37-year-old scored 330 runs with the highest score of 66* at an average of 55 and strike rate of 183 in 16 matches.

Following his impressive show as a finisher for RCB in the IPL, the right-hander was recalled to the side during the home T20I series against South Africa in June and since then the cricketer never looked back and is now part of India’s T20 World Cup 2022 as one of two wicketkeeper-batters along with Rishabh Pant.
RCB congratulated Karthik for his selection in the squad with a special video on Wednesday. Soon after, Karthik thanked the RCB fans and said that he is ever grateful for the chants that he gets from RCB fans.
He wrote on Twitter: “Thanks @RCBTweets for bein an integral part of the journey and helping me achieve my dream. Most importantly to all the RCB fans who chant RCB,RCB even when am in my blues representing team INDIA , I LOVE YOU GUYS. THANKS @malolanr @CoachHesson SANJAY BANGAR @basu2013 S SRIRAM.”
