Karthik took skipper Eoin Morgan’s name: “My favourite partner has to be @Eoin16. He never talks cricket in the middle, only random stuff...I enjoy doing that!”

DK went on to talk about his batting position for the upcoming T20 league, he said: “Yes, I am. Knowing McCullum &amp; Morgan, the batting order is going to be very flexible and it will be depending upon the situation where I will be batting,” tweeted Karthik.

He talked about the ‘most exciting KKR recruitment’ for this IPL. “It's always great to have Shakib Al Hasan with us, he has been a very exciting recruit for us. He has played with KKR before so it's great to have him back in our team,” Karthik replied.

One of his fans also asked him whether he will be a part of the Indian team in the upcoming T20I World Cup.

To which he responded: "That's the aim!"

DK was asked a similar question last year where he was pretty confident.

“My record in T20s has been good. A big tournament like the World Cup did not go exactly as per the plan. I could understand the one day bit (being dropped from ODIs) but even now I would like think that I stand a good chance in returning to the T20 side,” DK had told PTI.

&nbsp;“I have done well even in the recent domestic games that I have played. I have no reason to doubt myself (that I can’t make another comeback),” he added.

Dinesh Karthik last donned the iconic blue jersey back in the 2019 World Semi-Finals against New Zealand. However, after the loss, Dinesh Karthik lost his spot too.&nbsp;

But the Tamil Nadu player bounced back in style and led his team (Tamil Nadu) to win in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2021.&nbsp;

'My favourite partner has to be..': Dinesh Karthik interacts with fans ahead of IPL 2021

India’s semi-final defeat against New Zealand in the ICC World Cup 2019 is still fresh in the minds of cricket lovers. Many experts and fans were left baffled by the sudden promotion of Dinesh Karthik in the batting order following a top-order collapse while chasing a 240-run target. Since the crushing defeat, Karthik has been dropped from the side as selectors silently looked to other players.&nbsp;

Months after the heartbreaking defeat to the Black Caps, Karthik opened up on his sudden promotion as he said the move came as a&nbsp;surprise to him as the team management was very clear that he would be batting at number seven throughout the campaign.

Karthik said that his move was to arrest the flow of wickets while adding that he had to move really quickly to get ready due to the plan being a last-moment implementation.&nbsp;

“It came as a bit of a surprise because they had made it very clear that I would be batting at number seven. We had to send a rearguard action just to stem the flow of wickets. I was told to pad up and it all happened in a daze, in a hurry," Karthik was quoted as saying by leading cricket news portal.

“I was just sitting in my shorts and I had to go up, get ready. Literally, I was late to get in, I wasn’t expecting a wicket to fall. KL Rahul got out and I had to put on my pads. I went in in the third over and I don’t know when I got out, and it doesn’t matter, but I just stopped the wickets falling till Boult’s spell was over. He was the main wrecker-in-chief and unluckily when it was time for me to move on, I got out to a brilliant catch by James Neesham,” he added.

India suffered a heartbreaking 18-run defeat to New Zealand to bow out of the quadrennial event after enjoying a splendid run in the league stage.
