I was a little shocked after not being picked for Australia series: Karthik

Wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik Tuesday
"I am very happy now but there is a tournament (IPL) to play. I would be lying if I say I was thinking about the selection too much. It was only on the morning of selection I was thinking about it. Being a leader of the team (KKR), I have been trying to help everybody and focus on the job at hand."
"I was a little shocked after not being picked for the Australia series but I had I faith that you know if it is meant to be it is meant to be. Some things are not in your control and it is better if you don't think about them. I stayed in best shape cricketing wise in that period."

"Between Australia series and getting selected for World Cup there has been nothing but a few IPL games. So I don't think I have done anything in this last one moth to help my selection."
