sarcastic Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Dinesh Karthik has played enough cricket to know a thing or two about the National team and its players. Ahead of the T20 international series against Sri Lanka, Karthik — who has donned India colours in all three formats over 13 years — said the present set of youngsters, some of whom might make their debut in the coming days, were quite mature. “All of them have come with a lot of IPL experience — some have played 20 some 30 games. They are not as perturbed as they used to be in earlier days. It gives them a lot of confidence to come into the international set-up. As senior players, we just try and help these young guys,” said the 32-year-old. “It’s a great opportunity for all the young boys. For a lot of them, it’s the first time they are there in the Indian team. I’m very confident that they will make best use of the chances given to them.” Asked about Kerala pacer Basil Thampi, Karthik said, “He’s a talented player. He is sharp, bowls quick and can his execute yorkers very consistently. That’s probably one of his biggest strengths. He has good slower balls as well. He has all the ammunition required to play T20s and I’m sure he will do really well.” Link to comment

The Realist Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Easy to be mature when the "youngsters" are all in their 30s... Mosher, JaFanatic, SecondSlip and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment
nevada Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 7 hours ago, The Realist said: Easy to be mature when the "youngsters" are all in their 30s... DK seems to be the perennial "talented youngster just one innings away from announcing his greatness". I think the BCCI wrote down his age in a file when he debuted and hasn't updated the file ever since. Link to comment

jinjar Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Maybe, Dhoni was giving another keeper, who couldn't get consistently selected, a chance to make $$. Link to comment
