Dinesh Karthik produced one of his finest T20I knocks (55, 27b, 9x4, 2x6) to set up a thumping 82-run win for India in the fourth T20I against South Africa and level the five-match series 2-2 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Friday.
When Karthik arrived at the crease in the 13th over, India was wobbling at 81 for four after being asked to bat on a pitch of variable bounce that assisted the fast bowlers. He found an able ally in Hardik Pandya (46, 31b, 3x4, 3x6), the duo adding 65 off just 33 balls for the fifth wicket.
