Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya are in a rich vein of form. Having lit up the IPL, the duo have come back into the Indian side looking better than ever before. In the 4th T20I, Karthik and Pandya teamed up to take down the South Africa bowlers, scoring 55 and 46 respectively, giving a glimpse of the power packed middle-order India could play in the T20 World Cup.
If India coach Rahul Dravid`s post match comments are to be believed, Karthik, who wasn`t even in India`s T20 plans prior to the IPL, could be the man to partner Pandya as an `enforcer.`
