I want to represent India in at least one of the next two World Cups: Dinesh Karthik
Recently, while speaking on the podcast '22 Yarns' With Gaurav Kapur, Dinesh Karthik revealed that he is still not done with international cricket. The 36-year -old stated that he desires to be a part of the Indian T20 team in at leasr one of the upcoming World Cups.
"I want to play the sport as long as I am fit. I want to represent India in at least one World Cup of the next two, I think one is in Dubai and the next is in Australia. I had a fab time with the Indian T20 team till the time I was dropped due to an unsuccessful World Cup campaign," said Dinesh Karthik.
He then concluded by saying:
"I still play in the IPL for KKR. India does need a pure middle-order batsman. They have a lot of top-order batsmen who they slot in the middle-order. Barring Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, there is no one who is a middle-order batsman. They all bat for their franchises from opening to No.3, with only exception being Rishabh Pant who bats at No.4."
