In the form of his life, seasoned wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik on Saturday said that he has been “trying everything” to stage a comeback into the Indian team. Karthik, 36, who began his journey in international cricket way back in 2004, has not put a foot wrong in the ongoing IPL-15, playing some of the finest knocks for his franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore, who spent Rs 5.5 crore on him in the auction. 

He stretched his excellent run of form with a blistering 34-ball 66, paving the way for RCB’s 16-run win over Delhi Capitals. “I must admit that I have a bigger goal. I have been working really hard. My aim is to do something special for the country. This is part of my journey. I have been trying everything to be a part of the Indian team,” Player of the Match Karthik said at the presentation ceremony.
