Dhoni is a topper

Chennai. Dinesh Karthik has become the toast of the nation with his 8-ball - 29 against Bangladesh in the tri-series final but he still feels like a student in an University where Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a topper, when it comes to the tag of a best finisher.
Karthik told media during an interaction that Dhoni is a terrific guy. He is somebody who used to be reserved, shy. Today, he is a person, who is really vocal in helping the youngsters. I feel these comparisons are very unfair. As I said, he is probably a topper in an university, where I am studying. I am just happy in the space I am in, Karthik said.
Having been around for a decade and a half, Karthik is finally enjoying his time under spotlight, something he has so richly deserved. He attributes it to his good karma and divine intervention.It feels good that all the attention is on me. All the good karma and good things I have done over the years helped me hit that six. It is just that the shot went for a six… Probably the two mm extra that it went for it became a six. The feeling is yet to sink in and Karthik admitted it. It is hard for me to put in words. I am just happy to play this sport. When you play domestic cricket, it is a hard grind, To suddenly get so much attention feels so good but you also know that you want this to be a start of something special,” he added.
