Mumbai: The ace finisher of the Indian cricket team, Dinesh Karthik, has been selected for the squad of 15 for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, and his happiness is uncountable as he shared 'Dreams do come true' on his Twitter handle immediately after getting the news of being successfully included in the team for the coveted series.
The announcement was made on September 12 by the officials of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The 37-year-old wicketkeeper- and right hand batsman was one of the group of wicketkeepers tried out by India in the Ganguly era of Indian cricket before the arrival of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
