Russell, Kuldeep, Shubman or Nitish? Dinesh Karthik picks most stylish player in Kolkata team
Dinesh Karthik
Kolkata's skipper Dinesh Karthik so far has been one of the successful captains in the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League. Apart from match strategies and training sessions, Karthik is giving importance to many things, including Andre Russell's style statement.
During a promotional event, Karthik said, "Among the foreigners, Russell.. He kills it, so he`s got a good fashion sense as well."
Russell has been a picture of consistency for Kolkata, plundering 257 runs from just 121 balls with a stunning ball striking rate of 212.39 in this season of the IPL.
With his match-winning and entertaining knocks, Russell has become a cricket sensation among Indian fans and now he is standing out for his dressing sense too.
Apart from Russell, Karthik was also asked about the Indian players with the best dressing sense in the team.
He replied, "Kuldeep (Yadav) dresses really hard, Shubman (Gill) is somebody who is very stylish, Nitish Rana comes to my mind... These are all very fashionable guys."
Karthik took over from Gautam Gambhir last year and had said that he has it in him to steer the side to at least the playoffs.
Asked about which team is the favourite this time, Karthik said: "It`s difficult to say which team is the favourite since all 8 teams are on the same level. Hard to say which team is the big rival.. All teams are equally balanced and whoever plays better on the given day will be the winner."
