"Never stop dreaming." If there is one thing we can learn from Dinesh Karthik's sensational return to the Indian side is this. Wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik had last featured for the Indian team in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup.
Dinesh Karthik Made A Stunning Comeback
DK is returning back to the Indian setup after a long period of 1066 days. The cricketer has been brought back to the 16-man squad for the ongoing 5-match T20 International series against South Africa, riding on his stellar performances in the recently-concluded 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League.



During his long career of two decades, the veteran keeper-batter has never been able to cement his place in the Indian squad. DK, who was the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, couldn't manage to convince the franchise to retain him for IPL 2022.

However, Royal Challengers Bangalore ropped DK for Rs 5.5 crore and gave him the role of a finisher. DK repaid their faith and gave stellar performances throughout the season. He smashed 330 runs in 16 matches at an average of 55 and a strike rate of 183.33, playing a massive role in leading the team to a third-place finish. His stellar performances in IPL 2022,  played a major role in turning back his fortune.
