Dinesh Karthik has gained the status akin to a superhero after his striking performance against the Bangladesh team yesterday. Karthik who hails from Tamil Nadu hit 29 solid runs in 8 balls, with 3 sixes and 2 boundaries to get an amazing win for India.

All have been heaping praise on the batsmen including Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, Harbhajan Singh, Virat Kohli, Ashwin in addition to many celebs from the film fraternity as well. Guess who else took time out to give out words of praise for the batsman?

Ace director Shankar who is currently busy with the works for Rajinikanth’s ‘2.0’ post production shared his appreciation in his social page as well. “What a great and memorable climax-batting!Hats off to the hero #dineshkarthik,” he said. Well seems like Dinesh has become Shankar's 'hero' now!
