Dinesh Karthik has came up with an apology to the fans, as they are upset from him for not including MS Dhoni in his list of all time favourite XI. Lash week, Dinesh Karthik revealed his favourite players from all over the times, and the absence of Dhoni caused chaos among the fans.
Karthik recently explained the situation that led to Dhoni not being in the list. He said that is was a genuine mistake and that he did not remember to include a wicketkeeper when thinking about the team.
“Bhai log. Bada galti hogaya (Guys I made a big mistake.) Genuinely it was a mistake. I realized only when the episode came out. There were so many things happening that when I put this 11, I forgot the wicketkeeper. Luckily Rahul Dravid was there and everybody thought I was going with a part-time wicketkeeper. Bu genuinely I didn’t think Rahul Dravid as a wicketkeeper,. Can you believe being a wicketkeeper, I forgot to have a wicketkeeper? It is a blunder,” said Karthik.
Dinesh further said that MS Dhoni is guaranteed starter in any format, along with calling him for being one of the greatest cricketers of all time. Dinesh admitted that if given the chance to make the team once again, he would include Dhoni at seventh number along with making him the captain.
“And for me, let’s be clear. Thala Dhoni is a lock in any format, not only in India. I feel he is one of the greatest cricketers to have ever played the game. If I had to redo that team, one change I would do is, Thala Dhoni in at 7. And he will be the captain of any Indian team that is there,” Karthik added.
