"Very Bullheaded": Dinesh Karthik Determined To "Play This World Cup"

Dinesh Karthik was India's hero with the bat on Friday as his knock of 55 runs off 27 balls helped India post a winning total of 169 for six against South Africa in the fourth T20I in Rajkot. India were in a spot of bother at 81 for four in 12.5 overs when Karthik walked out to bat. But the veteran wicketkeeper batter along with Hardik Pandya swung the balance in India's favour with a 65-run partnership off just 33 balls for the fifth wicket. The total proved to be more than sufficient as the South Africans were bundled out for 87. The win helped India draw level at 2-2 in the five-match T20I series.
