Dinesh Karthik has retired from international cricket and decided to play SA20 this year for its competitive nature. He did not get to bat in the first game, but there was an opportunity to showcase his finishing skills against MI Cape Town in Match 6 of the season.

However, a massive miscommunication with his partner Bjorn Fortuin ended his short stay and the Indian wicketkepeer batter could manage just two runs from seven balls. His wicket came on the second ball of the 13th over when Paarl Royals needed Karthik to bat till the end and make a match out of it. 

Dinesh Karthik Left High And Dry By Fortuin

They were already 78-6 while chasing a target of 173. George Linde was the bowler and Dinesh Karthik dabbed the ball towards the off side and set off for a single. However, his partner, Fortuin sent him back when the veteran was halfway down the pitch and Colin Ingram in the meanwhile fired a throw at the batter's end.

Rickelton, the wicketkeeper's foot accidentally hit the stumps while collecting the ball and as a result one of the bails fail off. However, the other one was still intact the wicketkeeper whipped it off and even uprooted the stump with his hand before Dinesh Karthik could get back in the crease.The Indian star was clearly not happy with his partner and confronted him. However, it was all over till then and Paarl Royals were put in a deep hole.

Eventually, Paarl Royals were bowled out for 139 and MI Cape Town notched up their second win of the season by 33 runs. It was a quality performance from Rashid Khan's boys and they look like a team to beat after two disappointing seasons.
