Ashwin reveals why he ‘Cursed’ Dinesh Karthik in T20 WC game vs PAK

The T20 WC match between India and Pakistan last year can be regarded one of the finest clashes ever played between the two rivals. India were given a target of 160 in 20 overs and it was star batter Virat Kohli, who became the show-stopper and took India across the line with his unbeaten knock of 82 off 53 balls. With 16 needed off the last over.

Ashwin “cursed” Karthik –

India lost two wickets in the form of Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik. It was then Ravichandran Ashwin who came up and scored the winning run on the last ball of the match.

Recently, Ashwin opened-up about facing that last ball. He revealed that he “cursed” wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik for putting him in such a difficult situation.

Ashwin said – “I was cursing Dinesh Karthik for asking me to do the tougher job. As I was just cursing him and I walked in, I realized the enormity of what I was getting into – people yelling. I haven’t seen such a crowd ever.”

Ashwin added – “When I came to bat against Pakistan for the final ball in the World Cup, Virat Kohli gave me around 7 options to play that one ball.”

Ashwin further said –

“The moment Nawaz bowled the wide, I knew, I won the contest, cricket in so many ways going to give lots of messages, that is where I bought the positivity back and won the game. I think about this game when I go to sleep or watch the video, what if the ball had gripped & hit my pad, it was pretty close, maybe it was meant to be finished by me (smiles) but a terrific innings by Virat.”
