Dinesh Karthik VS Steve Smith Player Preview:
Firstly looking at Dinesh Karthik, he is currently captaining the Kolkata Knight Riders. He was made the captain from the year 2018, after Gautham Gambhir’s release in the auctions. Looking at the captaincy level, he has indeed coped up with situations and has mastered the art of captaining in a very short time. The captaining ability also shows his experience and he being a senior player for India is indeed a top-class captain. His talent of wicket-keeping also adds to the advantage, as wicket-keeping batsmen are very rare nowadays. His electric stumping also proves and adds his worth of leading such a massive and reknowned team world-wide. Sometimes he can also finish things in style and has got shots all over the ground.

Now looking at his arch rival, we have the captain of the Rajasthan Royals which is none other than the Australian skipper Steve Smith. This player is indeed a tough competitor for all other captains of different franchises. But Steve Smith is the perfect opponent to players such as DK. Steve Smith is an extremely talented batsmen whose shots look more classy than the girl you have right now. His strokes and cover-drives resemble those of our VK’s and he adds to the massive contribution in the scoreboard for his team. He was made the captain last year and returned back to his home team Rajasthan after 2 years of ban and also after the ball-tampering issue. Steve’s all set for this year and will be hoping to raise the teams standards by contributing some goodies.

Practice Sessions – Mission 2020:
As the days pass by, our skipper is training hard and middling the ball well in the nets. As the quarantine got over, we get to see DK determined and concentrative for a title win this year. His focus and determined challenge is shared equally by his fellow team mates and the entire unit looks balanced and focused under the net practice session. We hope they will bring off an amazing starter in their first match.
Although the captian of the Royals is yet to land in the UAE, we find the RR players working hard and working under Rahane’s temporary vision. Smith is expected to join the camp immediately after the end of the ENG VS AUS T20 series. We wish Steve and his team a very good session ahead.
