India wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik asked a fan to bring down his Twitter post after being reminded of his 2019 World Cup failure in the semi-final clash against New Zealand.
The incident happened during while the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star was conducting an question and answer session with his fans on Tuesday.
"One word about Ur goated inning in SF #Askdk," the fan asked with a screenshot of the 37-year-old's score in the all-important clash which India lost by 18 runs. Notably, Karthik, who had come in to bat at number five, was dismissed for six off 25 balls in the match. The top three of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli scored one run each.
