Chennai (ANI): Indian Cricketer Dinesh Karthik attended the launch party of the Pari Match Sports in Tamil Nadu’s Chennai on July 1. During the event, he also had a question and answers session. On speaking about the wicket-keeper choice for the ICC World Cup 2023, he said that since Rishabh Pant is not fit, there would be a toss-up for Ishan Kisan, Sanju Samson and KL Rahul.

“The choice for wicketkeeping in the Asia Cup is between three, considering Rishabh Pant is not fit, It’s going to be a toss-up for Ishan Kisan, Sanju Samson and KL Rahul. I think KL Rahul is the frontrunner followed by Sanju and Kishan,” said Dinesh Karthik.

Notably, the ICC World Cup will commence on October 5. The opening match will be played between New Zealand and England. England beat New Zealand in the final to lift its first-ever fifty-over world cup. England won on the boundary count-back rule, having scored 26 boundaries to New Zealand’s 17.

It was the first time a One Day International final match required a Super Over, and subsequently, the first time it had been decided by a boundary count.
