Dinesh Karthik recently surpassed MS Dhoni in the list of highest run-scorers in T20s. The former Indian wicketkeeper-batter was surprised to learn that he achieved this milestone during the recent South African T20 league SA20. During a media interaction on Sunday (February 16), Karthik responded to Dainik Bhaskar's question saying, "It's great to know that I overtook Dhoni, but it won't be long before he overtakes me. It really wouldn't trouble me much. I am happy for him to keep that record as the highest run-scorer as a wicketkeeper – I don't even know what exactly it is. It's okay, it's nice to know, but it's not something that I crave or really want." Karthik is the first Indian to play in SA20. He scored 144 runs in 11 matches playing for Paarl Royals in the recently concluded third season of the league. During this period, he moved ahead of his former teammate Dhoni in the list of highest run-scorers in T20 cricket. .I have never been someone who has been fascinated by record: Karthik Karthik said: "I played a lot of my cricket wanting to play for India. And when I retired from the IPL and playing in India six months ago… I think that was most important – trying to play for the country and doing well. I have never been someone who has been fascinated by records, probably because I don't have great records. I don't know."
