New Delhi. India beat West Indies by 68 runs in the first T20. The role of two batsmen was important in India’s victory. One captain Rohit Sharma, who scored 64 runs, the other Dinesh Karthik, who finished India’s innings, that too in a bang style. Karthik scored an unbeaten 41 runs in 19 balls. Due to his quick batting in the last over, Team India was able to score a good score of 190 runs on a difficult wicket. In this innings, Karthik hit 4 fours. But, the discussion is getting more about a boundary coming out of his bat. It should also happen, because in the last over of India’s innings, this shot from Karthik’s bat was very awkward. However, the result came in favor of Team India. Now its video is going viral.
Dinesh Karthik came out to bat in the 15th over after the dismissal of Rohit Sharma in the first T20. At that time India’s score was 131 runs for five wickets. A quick innings was needed to reach the big score. Karthik slowed down the beginning. But, in the last 3 overs, he completely changed gears and contributed significantly in adding another 45 runs to Team India’s score. He scored a total of 15 runs in the last over of Obed McCoy, hitting 2 fours and a six. On the fourth ball of the same over, Karthik played a strange shot, on which he got 4 runs.

Karthik’s awkward shot off McCoy’s ball
McCoy’s ball was outside the leg stump. On seeing this, Karthik changed his stance and tried to reverse sweep. But the ball did not hit the bat completely and took the edge and went over the head of the fielder standing at short fine leg and the fielder could not do anything except look at the ball. In this way India’s score increased by 4 more runs.

Karthik lived up to the role of match finisher
Karthik’s bat was silent on the recent tour of England. He was seen struggling to score runs. Because of this, questions were also raised on his selection in the team. But, he once again proved himself right for the role of the finisher in the first T20 of the series against West Indies.
