The 20-Over format may have changed the dynamics of sports but for Srikkanth, a finisher is someone who took a deep game and won it, as the opposite of the Karthik massacre in Final Four Overs.
“Your definition of the wrong finisher. Yes, Dinesh has done it very well. He has been brilliant on IPL and several matches here. But that is not Finisher! A man who can take matches from 8 or 9 more and finished can be called Finisher. What Diesh did can be called the final touch. Take Suryakumar Yadav. We see that he almost won the match in England. That is the role of finishing. Pandya Hardik, Rishabh Pants are Finisis … and our captain (Rohit) can open and play until the date 17 with the 12th Gigi is also a finisher, “said Srikkanth in Fancode during the third Twenty20 between India and Western Indies.
Finisher is actually not playing between 16-20 overs. A finisher is a man who took the match from 8 or 9 ended and finally finished with 60 strange runs. The role of Dinesh is defined. He did a fantastic one but he perfected the finishing role instead of becoming a finisher, “he added.
Karthik, who made his debut for India in 2004, wanted to lift the upcoming T20 World Cup in a new mantra with the national team. He is also part of the team that won the Perdana World T20 in 2007 and ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.
