Dinesh Karthik’s fairytale year 2022 just keeps getting better and better. The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman has been included in India’s T20I World Cup 2022 squad and he couldn’t hide back his emotions after being named in India’s roster.Â
DK was part of the T20 team which won the inaugural World Cup back in 2007 under MS Dhoni’s captaincy and 15 years later, the 37-year-old is still going strong.Â
Taking to Twitter after India’s squad announcement, Karthik wrote that his dream came true.Â
Dreams do come true

“Dreams do come true,” wrote the Tamil Nadu skipper on social media, along with a blue heart emoji. Indeed, ever since he made a stunning comeback into the Indian setup, after some inspiring performances with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), DK had often spoken about his ‘dream’ to represent India at the T20I World Cup.Â
It seems that the gods have been smiling from above on Karthik who not only helped RCB qualify for the playoffs of IPL 2022, but he has been equally as destructive since putting up the Indian jersey.Â
While Karthik could not play much during the Asia Cup 2022, but the upcoming T20I series against South Africa and Australia should give him a chance to push Rishabh Pant.Â
