It's not the quantity of balls but the amount of impact I create each time I walk in: Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik has been out of contention for Indian team selection since the 2019 World Cup in England. But he is still hopeful of making a comeback and taking part in at least one of the upcoming World Cup tournaments.
Dinesh Karthik, a while back, in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, explained his strategy and thought process while batting lower down the order.
"Before, there was a lot of confusion while selecting players across formats. But now, there's a lot of streamlining, with Test professionals and shorter-format professionals. The current set of selectors will look at who can play in which position, and they will realize that you can't put up scores of 75-80 while batting lower down. But you can score 20 off 8 balls, and 23 runs off 10 balls. This is what I've focused a lot on.
"It's not the quantity of balls but the amount of impact I create each time I walk in. That's one of the reasons why I'm confident this is something the Indian team will definitely want. I gave a sample size to them the last time I played. I'm very confident that if they pick me, I can showcase my skills and India will have a great chance at the World Cup again."
