Virat Kohli was the top-scorer for India with his unbeaten 46-ball 77 after India were invited to take first strike.

The cricketer is known for his big-hitting and performed well for Tamil Nadu in the T20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy that they won, though he got only a few opportunities to bat.

Tamil Nadu clinched their second Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title on Sunday, defeating Baroda by seven wickets in the final at Motera Stadium

All-rounder Vijay Shankar has been named Karthik's deputy. The 35-year Karthik will spearhead a squad that is a mix of experience and youth.

Batsman K.B Arun Karthick, who returns to play for Tamil Nadu after a gap of seven years, and medium-pacer Sandeep Warrier, who moved from Kerala ahead of the season, have also been included in the list

KKR should release the likes of Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik while letting 21-year-old Shubman Gill take over as the captain, said former India batsman Aakash Chopra.

Hoping to grab two crucial points, KKR are slated to lock horns with Rajasthan Royals on Sunday at Dubai.

Karthik joined the elusive list which comprises Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma, Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni, and Suresh Raina.

Ahead of their match against Mumbai Indians on October 16 in the ongoing IPL, Karthik stepped down as KKR skipper and handed over the reigns to World Cup-winning England captain Morgan.

Karthik also revealed about the emotions that were running in his head during 2018 Nidahas Trophy final.

Following his maiden IPL fifty, Cummins was happy with his knock to help side reach a decent total in loss against Mumbai Indians.

KKR under Karthik in IPL 2020, won four and lost three of their seven games to stand fourth in the points table. Overall, he had led KKR to 19 wins in 37 IPL matches. 

After taking charge of KKR ahead of the crucial clash against MI, Morgan reveals the the conversation he had with DK last night on the captaincy.

All eyes on KKR new skipper Eoin Morgan, who took over from Dinesh Karthik today hours before the KKR vs MI match; DK will play the role of vice-captain for the game.

Karthik handed over the responsibility to England's white-ball skipper Eoin Morgan. Karthik took the decision with a view to focus on his batting.

KKR had faced their bogey team in the IPL 2020 opener in Abu Dhabi when Rohit Sharma's 54-ball 80 had guided the defending champions to a 49-run win. 

Dinesh Karthik has revealed that he was "disappointed" and "angry" when all-rounder Vijay Shankar was sent in to bat ahead of him in the chase.

The South African veteran changed gears in the last five overs, smashing six sixes and five fours in an unbeaten 73 off 33 balls to set up an 82-run win for Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Karthik was under pressure as a batsman and a captain in the ongoing IPL. He partially ticked off the second box with a win against Chennai Super Kings and hoping to do the same on Saturday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, but he definitely ticked off the first with a match-turning fifty.
