Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik also stated that Rohit Sharma has earned a lot of respect for his leadership in batting in injury. Virat Kohli-starrer Team India was defeated by Bangladesh in the second ODI by 5 runs.
India’s incredible comeback was staged by Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer with their batting performances, but Bangladesh thwarted the visitors’ hopes by winning the final-over thriller at Shere Bangla National Stadium. Rohit Sharma, a veteran Indian skipper, played a brilliant match against Bangladesh despite suffering a thumb injury. Senior gloveman Dinesh Karathik gave praise to Rohit Sharma, stating that the Indian skipper has earned a lot of respect for his ability to bat in injury. He also reflected on Iyer’s brilliant performance against the Litton Das-led team in the 2nd OCI at Dhaka. Rohit had previously batted at number nine and saved India from a difficult situation. But it was Iyer’s heroic act that kept the visitors alive at Dhaka. In the recent encounter, Iyer was the top-scoring Indian batsman. He scored a match-changing half-century. Iyer was the top-scoring Indian batsman in the series decider. He played a gritty knock with 82 runs off 97 balls. “I think the way that he has played for such a long time has been amazing. You can see his confidence and he has scored 700 runs in this year’s tournament. One Day International cricket is a great sport for him. He likes the fact he can take a few shots and then launch. He is a great spin player and they have him tested with short balls every day and he is doing well in almost all of them,” Karthik stated. Karthik spoke more about Iyer, a great Indian batsman. He suggested that Iyer must finish all games for Asian giants like run-machine Kohli. Although he did have one failure, it could have been due to a missed ball. But you can see that he is a man on mission and wants to be there for his team at the end. He was impressive in this knock. He was dominant all the way. He didn’t quit, even though wickets fell around his bat. That is something I love about him. He almost led India to a safe place, but if you want your name to be known as a player, like Virat Kohli, these are the games you need to win. In 2022, an on-song Iyer became the leading ODI run-getter for Team India. This white-ball wizard has scored over 720 runs in 16 matches this year for India. “You want to be there for the country, not chase after them. He would be truly sorry if he lost that. While scoring 82 is a great feat, it’s not the same as being a middle-order batter or winning such games. Karthik said that if you do it consistently, you will feel that teams fear you.
