Xtra Time Web Desk : Team India’s veteran wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik has rediscovered his old form in the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League. Karthik has played the role of a finisher for Royal Challengers Bangalore to perfection.

Seeing Karthik’s sublime touch, AB de Villiers said that this has made him feel to want to come back and bat again.

“The form he’s in at the moment. He’s won RCB two or three games already. He looks like he’s in the form of his life. I don’t know where that’s come from. But, man, he looks in good form; he plays around the wicket – 360 degrees – really, almost makes me feel like I want to go back and play some cricket again watching him play,” AB de Villiers told VUSport

In the 7 matches in IPL 2022 so far, Karthik has scored 210 at a staggering strike rate of 205. Most importantly Karthik have played a significant role in four matches out of the five in which RCB have won.

Former RCB batter and Mr 360, AB de Villiers has been left in awe by this superb form of Dinesh Karthik who has filled the boots aptly of the South African who retired after last season.
