“Don’t Think Anybody Has…”: Indian Cricketer’s Big Praise For Virat Kohli

Few players have caught the fancy of the cricketing world like Virat Kohli. Dinesh Karthik has observed Kohli closely while sharing the dressing room for Team India and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Talking on the third of 10 episodes of RCB Podcast season 2, Karthik believes that Kohli’s ability to stay grounded despite achieving so much on and off the field is what makes him a champion in all walks of life.

“What he has achieved as an individual…he has really taken the team forward for the last 10 years. His consistency and mastery of the game…I don’t think anyone in the world of cricket has achieved this for a long time. Have done.” For a very long time, almost a decade, their dominance is unparalleled. We have to understand that there are three different formats, and it is difficult in itself to play three different formats and then he is averaging 50 in all of them, traveling abroad and scoring. as well as. I can talk about him a lot. He is very calm, very easy going, with the bowlers, the young guys,” said Karthik.

He also gave an insight into the man beneath the impressive Kohli persona.

“I have a good equation with Kohli, I think I really like him as a person. A lot of credit goes to him for the way he has been able to handle the situation right now, and the look on his face Still smiling.” .I respect him a lot. He deserves all the love and affection he’s getting from the world, and it’s good to see him in good spirits. You know, he is a very passionate, caring and responsive person,” the RCB batsman said.

Karthik said that his own contented state of mind has helped him look at the achievements of other contemporaries like Kohli and MS Dhoni with positivity.

“If I were a very disgruntled cricketer, I think it would look very different. And say: ‘Wow! What a life he’s living.’ Or I might look at someone who started a race with me and be like, well, I’m in a better place than I’d like to be, so I’ve always looked at it that way,” he said.

Away from the field of action, Karthik has also worked as a commentator, earning praise from all quarters. But the right-handed wicket-keeper batsman said that one word of praise from Dhoni made the job even more special for him.

“I enjoyed the commentary in the little things I did. I think I really enjoyed speaking about the game, looking at it very analytically, while also trying, you know, to Trying to do something meaningful to everyone watching the game. So, you know, I always tried to approach a situation in my own way and try to express it the way I thought. And my biggest compliment came from the person I least expected – MS Dhoni. He called me up and said: ‘I really enjoyed the commentary. Very, very good. Well done.’ I was like, wow, thank you so much. So, that’s big, you know, obviously, he watches this game a lot. And so and so and to hear him say that was really cool. And I’m glad That you enjoyed my commentary,” said Karthik.
