In the upcoming Champions Trophy match with Pakistan, the Virat Kohli had hinted about the inclusion of Dinesh Karthik in the Playing XI.
The 31-year-old, along with Shikhar Dhawan (60) and Hardik Pandya (80*), helped India post a gigantic 324-6 in their 50 overs which the Indian bowlers defended with precision.
"Very pleased. We got what we wanted in both the games. Last game as well, the bowlers did a fantastic job. As soon as the cloud cover comes in, it becomes increasingly difficult for the batsmen. Not taking anything from our bowlers. But it gets very difficult," Kohli said after the match.
"We back Kedhar and Hardik to do it for us down the order. Hardik was outstanding. Jadeja also played with composure."
"Fielding has been good, catching has been good. All bases are covered. We have ticked all the boxes going into the tournament," he added.
