Dinesh Karthik strike rate in IPL 2022: RCB’s wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik has been absolutely brilliant this season as the finisher of the side.

In the 54th league game of IPL 2022 between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore, Dinesh Karthik again proved his class with the bat. The Wankhede Stadium was buzzed by some stunning hitting by Dinesh Karthik at the end.

Bangalore got the worst possible start when Virat Kohli went out on a golden duck on the first ball of the game. Rajat Patidar and Faf du Plessis stitched a partner of 105 runs for the 2nd wicket. However, the run rate of the side dipped in the middle-overs.

Dinesh Karthik went on to bat when RCB were 159-2 at 18.2 overs, and then he took on the bowlers. He smashed a six on the last ball of the 19th over. In the 20th over, he smashed 22 runs in the last four balls of the game. Karthik smashed three sixes and one boundary on the last four balls of debutant Fazalhaq Farooqui.
