Dinesh Karthik was run out after a mix up with Virat Kohli. (Instagram/T20 World Cup)India’s designated finisher Dinesh Karthik was less than happy with his teammate Virat Kohli when a mix up between the two cost the former his wicket against Bangladesh on Wednesday.
The incident transpired in the 17th over when Virat Kohli had hit a ball straight towards Shakib Al Hasan and Dinesh Karthik went for a run but was caught out of his crease, leading to a run out.
Virat Kohli looked baffled with the commentator saying “Virat Kohli is saying, where is the run?” while Dinesh Karthik made a gesture which could be interpreted as the playing telling Kohli to look at him before attempting a run.
With that run out, Dinesh Karthik’s disappointing World Cup campaign continues with the batter scoring just 7 in this match.
In the match, India defeated Bangladesh by five runs in a rain-curtailed T20 World Cup match. Invited to bat, Virat Kohli and K L Rahul scored sparkling fifties to power India to 184 for six.
The under-fire Rahul returned to form with a 32-ball 50 before Kohli took charge of the innings with an unbeaten 64 off 44 deliveries.
Hasan Mahmud (3/47) was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh.
Defending a revised target of 151 in 16 overs following a brief rain interruption, India restricted Bangladesh to 145 for six. Liton Das top-scored for Bangladesh with a 27-ball 60. Arshdeep Singh (2/38) picked up two wickets for India.
