It is very rare to get a chance to play a big innings while playing in such a short order. Today (Tuesday), when Dinesh Karthik got a chance, he performed brilliantly. DK is the most dangerous batsman. MS Dhoni scores the most important runs in the death overs, this time DK has looked in great form for RCB.”
