Karthik, who last played for India during the 2019 World Cup in England, said he didn`t want to give the bat to his teammate because he had been dismissed by fast bowler Shaun Pollock for a golden duck in the fifth over.

Former India wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik revealed that prolific run-scorer Rohit Sharma had made his maiden half-century for the national team with his bat.
That happened during the 2007 T20 World Cup match between India and South Africa in Durban. Karthik said he was wary about giving his bat to Sharma.
