COLOMBO: Dinesh Karthik is no Hrishikesh Kanitkar or Joginder Sharma but the Indian batsman isn't complaining concerning the "memories of a lifetime" that his last-ball six against Bangladesh created.

Kanitkar's boundary against Pakistan below fading Bangabandhu Stadium lights in Dhaka or Joginder Sharma's ultimate over act against the arch-rivals within the inaugural T20 World Cup at the Wanderers had been one-off acts that made them household names.

Karthik, all through his sporadic India appearances within the final 13 and part years, has no doubt performed greater than Kanitkar or Joginder but possibly by no means had that "me too" second that every cricketer craves for.
"It's an amazing feeling. These are things which remain in your memory for a lifetime," an ecstatic Karthik informed bcci.television after the tip of the Nidahas Trophy ultimate on Sunday evening.
Karthik did a Javed Miandad with a last-ball six as India pulled off an incredible chase beating Bangladesh via four wickets.
Needing five off the overall delivery, Karthik smashed Soumya Sarkar over extra-cover to protected what would no doubt be one of India's most famous final ball sixes.
"It's been a great journey for the past one year and I am very happy to be a part of this. We have put in a lot of hard work and it's good to have won the tournament at the end of it all. I want to thank the support staff for the effort they have put in," the 32-year-old stated.
India's 'man of the moment' tried to position himself within the crease pre-empting what Rubel Hossain and Soumya Sarkar would bowl all through the overall two overs in their Nidahas Trophy triumph.
"At that stage, all I was trying to do was hit a boundary every ball. I was positioning myself on the crease according to what he would bowl. It kind of paid off," the affable Tamil Nadu cricketer was seeking to be modest.
Karthik expressed his marvel at the choice of Sri Lankan supporters, who had turned up to support India.
"We didn't expect so many people to come for India vs Bangladesh final as there weren't too many people during our league phase game. I was really happy with the support and it really helped while batting," Karthik signed off.
