Dinesh Karthik, batting coach and mentor of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), named three RCB cricketers in his five picks. Former Team India and RCB skipper Virat Kohli was obviously there in Karthik's top five favorites.
"Let me start with my favorite, and I think it's fair to say he's been the greatest T20 batter of all time now. Virat Kohli, what he's established over 20 years in international cricket and the IPL, there's nobody even close to him, I feel. So let's start with Virat Kohli. That's a no-brainer there," Karthik mentioned.
"Number two is a personal favorite of mine, who's batting probably in the best, most purple of purple patches in T20 cricket. He is taking England to a very strong position in T20 cricket purely with his theatrics with the bat and the confidence that he shows. He's probably the number one all-format player for me in the world as well. But in T20 cricket as well, he makes it to my top five list: Harry Brook," Karthik expressed.
RCB captain Rajat Patidar in Dinesh Karthik's 'top 5'
"The consistency with which he's churning out runs for RCB, being the captain, the range of shots that he has against pace and spin, and his ability to take a game away within a couple of overs—I haven't seen too many players with that kind of talent. I have enjoyed playing with him, but I'm enjoying even more working with him and having him in my corner: Rajat Patidar," he continued.
"At number four, I think he is probably England's best white-ball batter ever, and he is so consistent. He is phenomenally good and very consistent in the IPL. He played for Rajasthan Royals, has a great record, and has gone to Gujarat Titans, where both years he's been fantastic. So, Jos Buttler, one of the most talented batters going around in world cricket," said Dinesh Karthik.
Tim David is also in the list
"Pure power. He's scary when he gets going, and he's won games for most teams that he's played for around the world. He's somebody who has very easy power, long levers, and I feel his potential is a lot more than what he's giving any team that he's playing for right now. Tim David, purely because of the consistency with which he can hit pace and spin," the former cricketer concluded.
