India's 2019 World Cup squad members: Where are they now?
Just a month ahead of the 2023 World Cup, it’s time to know about the players who helped Team India reach the semi-final in the 2019 edition of the distinguished ODI tournament.
14. Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik was also part of India’s 2019 World Cup team. The veteran batter was included in India’s playing XI in the last two league matches and the semi-final against New Zealand. In the big game against the Kiwis, India were following the total of 240 and the wicketkeeper batter came out to bat at number five.
After the top-order collapse, Karthik was expected to utilise his experience and reconstruct India’s innings. However, he failed to hold his nerves and fell on six after playing 25 deliveries in 29 minutes in the middle. The knockout game against the Black Caps is his last appearance in ODI cricket.
In 2022, the veteran batter served India in the T20 World Cup in Australia but failed to justify his role with the bat. Currently, the 38-year-old cricketer is active in competitive cricket as a commentator. In the Ashes 2023, he was a part of the commentary panel along with illustrious names such as Nasser Hussain, Ricky Ponting, and Kumar Sangakkara.
