Karthik scripts thrilling win to keep Delhi alive

He was India's original man for Twenty20 cricket. Dinesh Karthik guided India to win in their first ever T20 international in South Africa, and led Tamil Nadu to victory in the country's first domestic Twenty20 tournament.

That Karthik, once India's first choice Test wicketkeeper but now out of the national team, would be writing one more such script to keep Delhi in the hunt for a berth in the semi-final of the inaugural IPL with a thrilling five-wicket win over Mumbai here on Saturday, might be coincidental as well as predictable. Cricket indeed writes such stories.
