In the opening match of a five-match T20 Internationals series, India thrashed West Indies by 68 runs. It looked like a one-sided encounter. Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik with the bat scored the bulk of runs.
Indian bowlers (Ashwin, Arshdeep, and Ravi Bishnoi) never allowed West Indies batters to score freely.
Dinesh Karthik struck an unbeaten 41 off 19 balls and was awarded player of the Match
Here is the statement of Danish Karthik in the post-match ceremony:
“It was sticky, not an easy wicket to bat on. It’s a very interesting role, you need the backing from the coach and the captain and that really helped”.
Dinesh Karthik said: “Important to assess the wicket and what kind of shots you need to play, and that comes with practice”.
