Some Twitterati aggressively batted for Karthik’s inclusion in the Indian T20 World Cup. “If DK not selected to T20I… Rohit, and Dravid should resign themselves… Dissolve BCCI” read one tweet.

Another Twitter account named ‘Mahi’ called Karthik pilot of plane to Australian T20 World Cup. He wrote “DK doesn’t need a ticket on the plane to Australia. He’s the pilot!!”

Karthik has been unlucky in finding the rightful chances in the national team. He has mostly played as a second-fiddle or backup player. However, his contributions in limited chances have been outstanding and need a reward. With no MS Dhoni or Suresh Raina on the side, team India will need Karthik’s experience to lift the trophy. India hasn’t won the trophy ever since the inaugural edition and Rohit Sharma will surely like to wear the crown. Karthik seems indispensable for India for the upcoming World Cups.
