RCB Mentor Dinesh Karthik Turns The Clock Back With Blazing Finish in Hong Kong Sixes 2025 [WATCH]

The reigning Indian Premier League (IPL) champion, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) mentor, Dinesh Karthik, set the stage on fire in India vs Pakistan Hong Kong Sixes 2025.

Dinesh Karthik Plays Match-winning Cameo in India vs Pakistan

While leading the Indian side against the arch-rivals Pakistan, he amassed a quickfire 17-run cameo off just six balls, striking at an astonishing rate of 283.33. The gloveman’s whirlwind innings included two boundaries and a six, which powered India to 86/4 in six overs.

Watch Dinesh Karthik’s fiery shots here:

Previously, another two former RCB batters, Bharat Chipli and Robin Uthappa, had set the foundation for Karthik’s late fireworks. Being put to bat first, the opening pair of Chipli and Uthappa provided a smashing start to India’s innings. They contributed a total of 52 runs in 24 balls, which included four boundaries and five maximums.

Pakistan had also started off the chase with some fiery shots. But the match was soon abandoned due to rain, with India claiming the clash by two runs (by DLS method). Before the rain interruption, ex-RCB seamer Stuart Binny scalped India’s solitary wicket in the fixture. Earlier, he was dismissed for just four runs in the match.
