He never played T20Is for 3 years.

Great to see him back for India in a T20 WC year. If he makes it to the WC squad, he'd be playing a T20 WC after 12 years.

He has been a point of difference for whichever team that he has played - Rahul Dravid on Dinesh Karthik

Speaking ahead of the T20I series against South Africa, Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid admitted that Karthik's performance with the willow against the Proteas would be observed closely. Sharing his views on the keeper-batter in the pre-match press conference, he had opined: "With Dinesh it is pretty obvious and very clear. He has made a comeback based on the skills that he has shown in a particular phase of the game. The phase of the game that Dinesh, at the back-end, has really been able to show skills over the last two or three years, he has been able to be a point of difference for whichever team that he has played.” Dravid added: "I see that as no different (in Team India). That's why he has been picked. He has been picked to bat in that kind of position, and see whether he can replicate those kind of performance for India as well." Ahead of the Delhi T20I, Dinesh Karthik has scored 399 runs in 33 T20Is at a strike rate of 143.52.
