Kartik has been highly effective in the Indian Premier League and helped Middlesex win the English Twenty20 Cup in 2008.

Somerset begin their South Group matches against Sussex at Hove on Tuesday.

"I would say Twenty20 is more of a batsman's game. Everything is a batsman's game," smiled the man from Delhi. "The first time I played Twenty20 cricket I started to bowl like a four-day game but you have to think every ball you could be hit for a six.

"If you can go for 24 runs off four overs you have done a lot for the side."

Kartik has noticed the influx of big-hitting overseas batsmen signed up by counties specifically for the tournament. Sussex have West Indies' Dwayne Smith while Somerset's second game will see them face Middlesex and their Australian openers Adam Gilchrist and David Replica Omega Watch Warner at Lord's on June 9. "Having played Twenty20 cricket if you put enough runs on the board then nine times out of ten you win," said Kartik. "With the overseas batsmen coming in it is going to be interesting because every county has tried to sign a big-hitter.

"England has just won the Twenty20 World Cup so lots of local players are going to be showcasing their wares so it is going to be very interesting."

Kartik insists he will not be looking for personal success.

"I have never searched for figures in my career," he said. "As long as I am doing a job for the side I am happy.

The management keep talking about making sure we play to our potential - as long as you can do that the results will be there. It is a simple process.

"I am looking forward to Twenty20. In the last three and a half months it has all been white-ball cricket for me and I have now played two four-day games and I saw the red ball for the first time in a very long time. We are now getting back to white ball cricket for about 50 days."

Kartik will play at Hove despite slightly injuring his arm during the Championship win over Warwickshire.

Former South Africa paceman Charl Willoughby is now qualifed for England after completing the necessary residency period.

Although the 35-year-old is not anticipating a call-up, the move will mean Somerset will not have to pay the ECB to play the left- armer.
