👏🏻 A fantastic bowling display by our bowlers led by Avesh 🔥 Keep the momentum going boys. — ICC (@ICC)June 17, 2022 MOM in India’s first ever T20 international .. 16 years later gets his maiden fifty against the same side. And great to see Avesh Khan amongst the wickets. Dinesh Karthik the finisher went to work today I see.

Karthik smoked a quickfire 55 from 27 deliveries with the help of 11 boundaries, including a couple of sixes, to assist India post 169/6 in 20 overs. Pandya fell short of 4 runs from what could be a defining fifty, but Karthik made sure he cashed in the opportunity. Before the Proteas could capitalise further, Hardik Pandya and Karthik paired up to bail India out of trouble.

Thanks to Hardik and Karthik, India were able to amass 73 runs in the last five overs.

Thanks to Hardik and Karthik, India were able to amass 73 runs in the last five overs. The previous record was held by MS Dhoni at the age of 36 years and 229 days when he scored a half-century against South Africa back in 2018. The Indians were struggling at 81 for four before a 65-run stand between Hardik (46 off 31) and Karthik (55 off 27) brought the home team back into the game.

Dinesh Karthik played India's first-ever T20 match which took place way back in 2006.

It is important to learn to embrace pressure. It is good to see a bilateral series going down to the final match. It was a tough pitch to bat on. It was hard to hit boundaries. The record being the oldest Indian to score a fifty in T20Is. And yet it seemed everything has remained the same.

Dinesh Karthik surpassed MS Dhoni to become the oldest India batter to make a fifty in T20Is. Dhoni had hit a half-century at the age of 36.

Avesh Khan was among the pick of the bowlers for India as he returned with figures of 4/18. On the other hand, Yuzvendra Chahal grabbed two wickets. From the outset, Dinesh Karthik looked in prime form, taking the Proteas bowling apart with his AB de Villiers-like batting in Rajkot. The Tamil Nadu batter struck the ball all over the ground as he went on to provide the much-needed impetus to the Indian batting which lacked the spark early in the innings. The series is on the line which is great. The 37-year-old not only destroyed the South African bowlers but dealt a severe blow to their morale as well as he never looked getting out on the day. In the end, his knock turned out to be a match-winning one as India trumped South Africa by 82 runs, levelling the series at 2 games apiece with one more match to go at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. On Friday, veteran wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik broke the legendary MS Dhoni’s record to become the oldest India batter to score a half-century in T20I cricket.
