Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Mahipal Lomror might be impressed with Dinesh Karthik’s role as a finisher. A quickfire 10-ball 28 run-knock saw the home side clinch victory in the RCB vs. PBKS clash in Bengaluru. Lomror, who came into the game as an impact player, finished the game along with Karthik as RCB fetched their first two points of the IPL 2024.
Mahipal Lomror says at the post-match press conference that “I think batting with him (Dinesh Karthik) makes things easy for us. He is an experienced guy, with 15–17 years of experience. He has been in that role for a long time now. He has executed his plans very well. Today, when I was batting with him, he was just telling me to stay calm and focus on the next ball and the job at hand. Not to get overexcited or aggressive. That kind of small talk always helps. That’s the experience he brings to the team, and he is doing the job of the finisher really well.” 
Virat Kohli set the stage for RCB in the run-chase, smashing his 100th fifty en route to his 77-run knock. This set the stage for Dinesh Karthin and Lomror to finish the game for the team. DK smashed three fours and two sixes, while Lomror added two fours and a six to his name.
