Karthik will certainly be on the flight to Australia for T20 World Cup, feels Gavaskar

TIL Desk Sports/ Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is confident slog-overs specialist Dinesh Karthik will be on the fight to Australia for the ICC T20 World Cup this year, adding that all the years he was out of India reckoning, he was working with the sole aim of regaining his spot.

Gavaskar and Karthik shared the commentary box during last year’s World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand and the legendary cricketer revealed how hard Karthik trained to get back into the national side, even leaving the hotel gym “because it wasn’t good enough”, and enrolling in a club.

“When we (him and Dinesh Karthik) went for the World Test Championship we were pretty much having lunch, breakfast, dinner together. And over there he was telling me about his ambition to come back in the India team for the T20 World Cup,” Gavaskar told.

“He (Karthok) wasn’t in line for the one in UAE (T20 World Cup last year) but this time around ((in Australia 2022), he looks very well to be part of the flight that takes to Melbourne,” added Gavaskar.
