Karthik showed his finishing skills in a match against Australia in Nagpur on Friday, which was cut short because of bad weather. Dinesh Karthik came into the game when the Men in Blue only needed 13 runs off 7 balls. He hit 10* off 2 balls (one six and one four) to lead the Men in Blue to a much-needed win.
Why Are Fans Talking About Dinesh Karthik Helmet?
There are other things to talk about besides his finishing skills, which he has shown off many times for India. Like Karthik’s strange helmet and the things that made him choose it.
For those who don’t know him, the 37-year-old sensation wears a helmet that stands out. Karthik wears a helmet that looks like those used in baseball and American football games. It is not a sphere, and there is no bulge in the middle.

Karthik’s gear has extra metal grills to protect against the leather ball, which is pretty obvious. But there are other reasons why Dinesh Karthik likes these more than more traditional ones.
What Are The Benefits Of Dinesh Karthik Helmet?
First of all, Dinesh’s helmets fit better and are better for your head.
- They also weigh less.
- The small holes at the top, sides, and back let more air in and help sweat evaporate.
- Because India’s new jersey is a cool blue. Dinesh Karthik’s helmet shines like a blue sun because of the floodlights, which makes it stand out even more.
In short, the wicketkeeper-batter looks very cool with the helmet on.
Is This The First Time Dinesh Karthik Helmet Is Changed?
This is not the first time Karthik has worn a helmet like this. In both international cricket and the IPL, Karthik’s wicket-keeper helmet has often looked like a baseball face guard (permitted by the rules of cricket).
Rahul Tripathi, an uncapped Indian batter who played with Karthik last season at Knight Riders and is now with Sunrisers Hyderabad, wears a batting helmet similar to this one. Players like former England batters James Taylor and Michael Carberry and former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara used to wear these helmets back in the day.
