Dinesh Karthik Practices Power-Hitting In Nets Ahead Of Netherlands Clash. Watch

India got off to a winning start in their 2022 T20 World Cup campaign last week. The champions of the inaugural edition defeated their arch-rivals Pakistan in a last-ball thriller at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the Super-12 stage on Sunday. The Rohit Sharma and company play their second game of the mega event against Netherlands on Thursday at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Ahead of the match, ICC shared a video on social media in which India’s wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik could be seen practicing some power-hitting in the nets.

Watch the video here:

The Indian cricket team has decided not to practice, a day before their second match in the ICC T20 World Cup against Netherlands in Sydney, as their practice venue was more than 40 kilometres away from the team hotel, sources in the BCCI informed NDTV. The practice venue was at Black Town, which is 42 kilometres away from Sydney.

It must be noted though that the practice venues are decided much in advance and are also signed off by the respective teams.

In a separate incident, news agency ANI reported that Indian players were not provided with hot food after their practice sessions and they were not happy with the after-practice menu they were provided in Sydney, as per BCCI sources.

“The food that was offered to Team India was not good. They were just given sandwiches and they have also told ICC that food provided after a practice session in Sydney was cold and not good,” a BCCI source told ANI.
