As such, The T20 World Cup will be held in 2021. As a result, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik believes his KKR skipper Eoin Morgan deserves a lot of praise. Thus, Especially when you consider how the Ireland-born cricketer led the franchise to the IPL’s 14th season final. They won despite being in the bottom half of the points table at the halfway point.
In the recently finished season, Kolkata made a spectacular comeback. For the first time since 2014, they have risen from the ashes to reach the final.
Morgan did not make an impact as a hitter. Karthik, on the other hand, thinks the skipper deserves a lot of respect for the way he leads his soldiers on the field.
As such, There was a lot of discussion about whether Morgan should sit out the playoffs because of his poor play. DK, on the other hand, believes that the English captain made the proper move by not making that decision.
“He (Morgan) took the right decision, he decided to play because as a player, he plays two roles- one is his batting and one is his captaincy. Definitely one of the main reasons why we (KKR) were able to reach the finals, you’ve got to give some credit to him. He made the right bowling changes, he had the right field placements. Karthik said
‘Almost throughout the game, you need to make about 60-80 decisions. It’s not easy, it looks very simple from the outside. He was able to take those decisions consistently and you’ve got to give him credit for that.’’ he added
KKR finally fell to CSK in the final. But one thing that can’t be taken away from them is the determination they showed after losing five of their first seven games.
T20 World Cup
Morgan stated ahead of the T20 World Cup that he will not mind being dropped from the starting XI.
As a result, Karthik thinks Morgan deserves a lot of the credit for England’s white-ball comeback after the 2015 World Cup. He does admit, however, that his KKR captain needs to regain his form. Morgan’s presence on the pitch as a savvy leader is crucial for England, according to the Tamil Nadu player.
Therefore, Karthik went on to compare Morgan to Dhoni. In terms of the tranquility, they both bring on the field and in the locker room.
