Dinesh Karthik has been a great finisher for Bangalore in the Indian T20 League 2022. He has given the team some memorable performances already and has been their most consistent player this season. The wicketkeeper-batter looks in staggering form and has scored 210 runs in eight matches he has played. He has a strike rate of 210 and an average of 105 this season.

Bangalore play their next game against Rajasthan on the 26th of April. The team will have a lot of hopes from the 36-year old against an in-form Rajasthan team. Notably, Karthik won the player of the match after scoring a match-winning 44 when these two teams last met.

Since Karthik in such excellent form, teams have struggled to bowl to him because of his ability to hit all over the park. They still haven't found a way to restrict him. Rajasthan, meanwhile, came up with a hilarious post to reveal their strategy of stopping Dinesh Karthik.

They showed a satellite image of the map and asked Karthik to take a different route as there is heavy traffic on Mumbai-Pune route.  "Hey @DineshKarthik, seems like there's heavy traffic on the Mumbai-Pune express highway, here's a shorter route:" read the caption.

Here is the post

Meanwhile, the fans gave some hilarious replies to the post. A fan posted the same photo, but instead of Dinesh Karthik, he asked Jos Buttler to take the shortest route. Another fan said that he enjoyed the fear of Dinesh Karthik.

 

Meanwhile, Bangalore has had a decent season so far as they have won five of their eight games. However, they are coming out of a horrible loss against Hyderabad, where they were bowled out for 68.
