In India’s upcoming T20 World Cup match against Bangladesh on Wednesday, senior wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik will be a questionable starter due to back spasms that caused him to leave the field during the final five overs of the South Africa game. Karthik’s injury might allow Rishabh Pant to be into the starting XI. On Sunday, Karthik left the field owing to injury.

Karthik has had an underwhelming tournament so far as he scored 1 against Pakistan and 6 off 15 balls against South Africa.
He is a designated finisher, but his inability to handle the pace and bounce at Perth’s Optus Stadium, combined with Suryakumar Yadav’s lack of any help during their 52-run stand, did draw some criticism.
For leaving a counterattacking player like Pant out of the lineup, the Indian coaching staff has also come under fire.
Pant has had incredible success in Test matches in Australia. In comparison to Karthik, he is a superior player of horizontal bat shots.
Pant has been tremendous in the past series of Asia cup 2022 and Series with South Africa. However, Pant can be a good replacement after Dinesh Karthik Injuries.
India is to square off Bangladesh on Nov 2nd at Adelaide oval.
