With Virat Kohli being rested, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian squad has three uncapped players — Basil Thampi, Deepak Hooda and Washington Sundar while the likes of Jaydev Unadkat and Mohammed Siraj are also low on experience. However, Dinesh Karthik feels that these Uncapped Players Will Come Good Due To IPL Exposure.
“All of them have come with a lot of IPL experience behind them — some have played 20-30 games. They are not as perturbed as they used to be in earlier days. It gives them a lot of confidence to come into the International set-up,” Karthik said before the T20I series opener.
“I’m sure these are exciting times for the young boys. I’m very confident that they will make best use of the chances given to them. It’s a great opportunity for all the young boys coming in.” The Indian wicket-keeper batsman said.
“We are trying to assess how each one reacts to different situations. These are a great platform for a lot of young guys to come in and showcase their talents. As senior players, we just try and help these young guys as much as possible,” he added.
