Dinesh Karthik apologizes to Dhoni's fans: Former wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik recently revealed his favorite all-time Indian playing XI selection. In which five current cricketers were included in the team, but former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was not included. Cricket fans were shocked and criticized Karthik when legendary wicketkeeper-batsman Dhoni was left out of the all-time playing XI. However, 39-year-old Karthik has now rectified his mistake and apologized to the fans for not liking Dhoni. He said that it was my big mistake to do so.
Brothers, a big mistake has been made.
While answering the users' questions, Karthik admitted his mistake. He said, “Bhai Logu, I have made a big mistake. It was really a big mistake. I came to know about this after the video surfaced. When I selected these 11 players, there were many other things going on with them. I don't know why I forgot the wicketkeeper (Dhoni). Fortunately, Rahul Dravid was part of Team 11 so everyone thought that I have hired a part-time wicketkeeper. But I really did not think of Rahul Dravid as a wicketkeeper.”
'Dhoni is one of the greatest cricketers'
Karthik, who will retire from cricket in May 2024, said, “Can you believe it? Being a wicketkeeper I forgot to add wicketkeeper. This is a huge mistake. Such a big mistake should not be made.' This is very clear to me. Thala Dhoni is perfectly fit for any format.” Karthik claimed, “I believe Dhoni is not just an Indian player but one of the greatest players of cricket. I really respect that.”
'Dhoni will be at number 7 in the team'
“If I make the team again, I will definitely make one change. Thala Dhoni will be at number 7 and he will be the captain of any Indian team. There is no doubt about it.” Let us tell you that Karthik chose Rohit Sharma and Virender Sehwag as openers in his all-time India XI. He placed Rahul Dravid at third and the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar at fourth. Virat Kohli was next. Yuvraj Singh and Ravindra Jadeja were chosen as all-rounders. After this came two spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Anil Kumble and two fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Zaheer Khan.
