Karthik Stars as India Clinch Nidahas Trophy Final
Wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik (29 runs off eight balls) played a brilliant cameo towards the end as India beat Bangladesh by four wickets in the final of the Nidahas Trophy T20 tri-series at the R. Premadasa Stadium here on Sunday. Coming in the second last over with scoreboard reading 133 for five, Karthik announced his arrival at the crease through two sixes and a four in first three balls, which narrowed the gap between remaining balls and required runs.
The drama unfolded in the last over when India needed five runs off the last ball. Karthik slammed a flat six over extra cover to clinch the issue.
