Karthik was given the added responsibility to lead the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) squad in the recently concluded 11th season of Indian Premier League (IPL) and he led his team from the front guiding them to the second qualifier of the tournament.
Before IPL, Karthik created a buzz in the Nidahas Trophy finals by guiding India to victory on the last ball of the game.
Dinesh Karthik’s wife Dipika Pallikal is an ace squash player. Dipika recently won the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games 2018, held in Gold Coast, Australia.
Talking about his wife before she departed for Australia to participate in the Commonwealth Games, Karthik had said, “My wife never saw my match. She gets nervous. Her sisters watched it. Cricket is not her favourite sport. She watches squash when it comes on TV. Cricket does not interest her much.”
Former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik said fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is like a Kohinoor diamond for the national team, adding that being entrusted with the responsibility of captaincy will increase the risk of him being injured.
Former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik believes there is nothing to worry about Virat Kohli’s form in the 2-0 ODI series loss to Sri Lanka, saying life wasn’t easy for rest of the visitors’ batters on pitches aiding spinners to a huge extent.
The 39-year-old former India international boasts intimate knowledge of franchise T20 cricket, having been part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) since its inception in 2008. He has represented six teams during his 16-year IPL career.
