Rohit Sharma and World Cups are synonymous: Dinesh Karthik backs India opener to fire at T20 World Cup

T20 World Cup: Dinesh Karthik said he expects a two-way race between David Warner and Rohit Sharma for the top spot in batting charts at this year's T20 World Cup, starting October 17 in the UAE and Oman.

India wicketkeeper-batsman Dines Karthik has backed Rohit Sharma to have another good run at a World Cup, this time at the T20 World Cup in October-November in the UAE. Karthik said India need a top-order batsman to fire if they are to do well in the global T20 showpiece, scheduled to get underway from October 17 in the UAE. Dines Karthik pointed out that Rohit Sharma had a dream run at the 2019 World Cup and the Mumbai Indians captain loves the big stage. Rohit scripted a new record when he became the first batsman to hit 5 hundreds in a single World Cup campaign. The India opener was in imperious form at the 2019 World Cup, hitting hundreds against Sri Lanka, Pakistan, England, Bangladesh and South Africa.
