Sachin Tendulkar talks about Dinesh Karthik after his match-winning knock vs Hyderabad

In the initial 40-overs game, Kolkata’s veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik scored a quickfire 29 from just 14 balls. His explosive cameo at the end enabled his side’s total to boost up to 163-5 off their 20 overs. Referring to Dinesh Karthik’s innings, Sachin Tendulkar said on his YouTube channel that the Kolkata wicketkeeper is someone who uses his crease to good effect.

Interestingly, the former Indian captain described Dinesh Karthik as India’s ‘Mr. 360 degree’ batsman because of his “good hands” and ability to use the crease. According to Sachin Tendulkar, Karthik is someone who has the ability to get under the ball easily due to his flexible technique. The batting icon further praised the former Kolkata captain for his whirlwind knock against the Hyderabad bowlers. The claim comes as a surprise since normally, it is AB de Villiers who is considered as cricket's 360 degrees batsman.
