Dinesh Karthik
Trending
Having been part of as many as five franchises, Karthik has been one of the most dependable wicket-keeper batsman in the IPL, adjusting to varying conditions and batting positions. A vital piece in the Gujarat Lions’ batting puzzle, Karthik has made an impact both behind and in front of the stumps.
He has hit two half-centuries in the three games that the Lions played this week. The latest, a 29-ball 51 helped finish the chase after both the openers were back in the hut by the eight over. Coming in at four, he chased down the target with the help of eight fours and a six.
Behind the stumps, he collected five catches as well. Lokesh Rahul was also considered for the list, but Karthik edged forward due to a better showing behind the sticks.
