Dinesh Karthik has played for the national team in many different formats for a very long time and has been one of Indian cricket’s best players over the past 20 years. The Indian team that competed in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia last year included Karthik as the main wicketkeeper.
Karthik started his career as a commentator while still playing cricket professionally for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL). It was the year when Karthik started sitting in the commentary panel in 2021 and started it again during the current Border-Gavaskar trophy between India and Australia.
Indian legend MS Dhoni is one of many who likes Dinesh Karthik’s commentary. Dhoni personally called Karthik to compliment him for his work, which Karthik revealed as a heartfelt gesture.
While talking on RCB Podcast, Dinesh Karthik said, “I enjoyed commentary in the little stints that I did. I think I enjoyed speaking about the game, looking at it very analytically, and at the same time trying to, you know, get something meaningful across to everybody who’s watching this sport. So, you know, I always tried to make sense out of a situation in my own way and tried to articulate it in the way I thought it was.”
He further added, “And my biggest accolade came from the person that I least expected from — MS Dhoni. He called me and said: ‘I really enjoyed the commentary. Very, very good. Well done.’ I was like, Wow, thank you so much. So, that is big, you know, obviously, he watches a lot of this sport. And so and to hear him say that was really good. And I was happy that you enjoyed my commentary.”
