Dinesh was such a correct player technically: Kohli

I have had some interesting conversations with him: Kohli

Dinesh has great knowledge about a lot of things: Kohli

With the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) having been eliminated from the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Dinesh Karthik’s association with the franchise has come to an end. Without his assistance in the middle order, it would not have been easy for the franchise to make it to the playoffs in the last few seasons. “I always looked at Dinesh and felt like he was such a correct player technically that he could adapt to any kind of role that’s been given to him, and I remember watching him in the 2013 season where he got 600 runs or something and he batted brilliantly at three. I saw him play shots which were like ‘wow’. I think he’s done brilliantly to switch and become a renowned finisher. I wish him all the very best for all his future endeavours moving forward,” former RCB captain Virat Kohli said.

Dinesh Karthik is also known for his sharp analysis in the commentary box. His alluring persona has made him a fan favourite. “Off the field, I have had some really nice and interesting conversations with him. He is a wise man, and has great knowledge about a lot of things, not just cricket. I have thoroughly enjoyed my conversations with him. Even in that phase in 2022 when I did not have a great IPL season, I was really struggling for confidence. He sat me down a couple of times and just gave me a very honest explanation of how he saw things and maybe I am not able to see them myself. I just like his honesty, his courage to go and speak to anyone about things that he really feels about. And that, I think, is the most special thing for me when it comes to Dinesh,” Kohli added.
