IRE vs IND: Aakash Chopra Reacts On Dinesh Karthik’s Keeping In The Game Against Ireland: Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has poorly reacted to Dinesh Karthik’s wicketkeeping in the first T20 match against Ireland. He has said that Karthik did the keeping instead of Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson, which is a big statement.
Rishabh Pant is not a part of this T20 series, and Team India had three options for keeping: Dinesh Karthik, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson. Samson was not a part of the playing XI of the first T20I.
Two wicketkeepers were playing in the team as Ishan Kishan and Karthik, but Dinesh Karthik was given wicketkeeping instead of Ishan Kishan.
IRE vs IND: Getting Karthik to keep behind the wickets is a big statement
Aakash Chopra reacted to Dinesh Karthik’s wicketkeeping in a video shared on his YouTube channel. He said ‘Dinesh Karthik did the wicketkeeping, and Ishan Kishan was ignored for the option.
Sanju Samson also didn’t get a chance. This means that if Rishabh Pant is not available, then Dinesh Karthik will do the keeping, and this is a big statement.
Let us tell you that Dinesh Karthik did a tremendous performance in IPL 2022, and after that, he returned to the Indian team. He was first elected to the team for the South Africa series, and after that, he was selected in the team for the Ireland series as well.
The first T20 match between India and Ireland was played in 12 overs due to rain. Batting first, Ireland scored 108 runs in 12 overs for the loss of 4 wickets.
In response, the Indian team quickly achieved this target in the 10th over by losing just three wickets. Deepak Hooda played a tremendous inning and scored 47 runs in just 29 balls with the help of 6 fours and two sixes.
