IPL 2022: 10 players who are turning out to be bargain picks for their teams
The 15th edition of the cash-rich league have been a grand success so far
2. Dinesh Karthik – Royal Challengers Bangalore ( INR 5.50 crore)
The Indian veteran wicketkeeper, who has reinvented himself ever since the Asia Cup finals against Bangladesh, was bought by RCB for INR 5.50 crores in search of a finisher. Dinesh Karthik didn’t disappoint his former team either. He has been playing some innovative shots, saving RCB’s ship from sinking after an early loss of wickets and taking the game away from the opposition match after match in the 15th edition of IPL.
Roaring at a strike rate of 200, Karthik has scored 210 runs and has been devastating in the death overs, smacking 18 fours and 15 sixes so far in eight innings. Karthik is also the second-highest run-scorer for Royal Challengers Bangalore this season. With the likes of Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik has been the MVP with the bat so far for RCB.
Karthik, who usually walks into bat after the 12th or the 13th over, has been a revelation for Bangalore. He has been scoring boundaries in an unorthodox fashion, with 360-degree shots, Karthik has not let RCB miss Ab De Villiers by any means. Karthik has been experimental in taking RCB home from situations where it was done and dusted for them, showing the world why he is still not done yet!
