They didn’t get upset once because they were very sure: Karthik on Harshal and Chahal
“They didn’t sulk once or get upset once because they were very sure. At the start of the tournament they were said that under these conditions we would be playing you otherwise it might be hard. So they were very aware and were preparing in such a way that when get an opportunity they will try and do their best but there might be a chance that they end up not playing,” Karthik said in a conversation with Cricbuzz.
Karthik backed Rohit and Rahul stating that there was a lot of clarity in the Indian dressing room which made the job easier for everyone during the T20 WC. He also added that both Harshal and Chahal were grinding hard during the practice sessions and would have given their best if they were part of the playing XI.
“So when that clarity is there from the coach and captain it makes the job easier for the player because you just start looking inward and think okay what do I do to start preparing better. That is what they were doing and had they been given a chance they would have given their best. This is a very high intensity tournament. As mentioned, he played a lot of matches for India and he knows the feeling of being dropped,” Karthik added.
