New Delhi: Comments in India are considered as post-retirement choices but dinesh karthik, which is very many active cricket, wanting to change the perception.
With its sharp but simple analysis, Karthik became an instant hit in the comment box when he made his debut in the final of the world test championship between India and New Zealand last month.
Karthik said talking on a microphone was much easier than playing the game but he came with a series of challenges themselves.
Also read a lot of sticks from the mother and wife ‘: Dinesh Karthik apologizes for comments’ Neighbor’s wife’ and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Batsman goalkeeper Dinesh Karthik on Sunday apologizes for the air he made in Odi air between Sri Lanka and England , Using the game together with people like Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain are also an experience that enriches for 36-year-old children.
Crickets in Karthik are not afraid to move Hussain a little and have not received praise from the former England captain.
Social media also piled up praise at Indian Wicketkeeper-Batsman carrying fresh air breath into a comment box full of Doyens.
“Actually, I was the only debutant from the final,” Karthik said laughing.
While the Indian team went on a break 20 days after the final, Karthik moved to the next task – a limited drawing series between Sri Lanka and England.
He will also comment during the five match test series between India and England before heading to the UAE to play for Kolkata Knight Riders on the IPL.
After the IPL must be suspended in May due to Covid-19 pandemic, the comments have just happened to Karthik, who have done some punditri for sky sports during the Indian house series against England in February-March.
“I did that and it went pretty well.
That’s when I got the chance to do comments and I decided to do it.
The mindset was just to talk about anything I knew about the game,” he said was rather polite.
Playing more than 150 matches for India across the format.
At the stereotypes that comments are something for former players, Karthik said: “There are many other sports such as basketball and soccer where players now come when they don’t play.” Even now during Sri Lanka-England T20s.
, James Anderson did it for the BBC in the next room.
So it’s a normal thing, only in India I think it’s considered like that (post-retirement option).
“I clearly want to break the stereotype to some extent and I like to do this when I don’t play.” Before making his comment debut, Karthik had to spend a lot of time with Sunil Gavaskar in Serbia, a country of their 10 days before entering England in the middle of a pandemic.
“I was very lucky to happen.
He gave me a few tips (in comment) and it went well.
More than tips, the time I spent with him was very enlightening and enriching.” It is also a beautiful and bright country.
Bhai and I have to meet with a very interesting Serbian cricket team.
“Karthik comes as a natural thing in the microphone and what he does is take several sessions online (when I have to talk in the air, when not) before flying to England through Serbia.
Commenting on the players he plays can be awkward but Karthik has a way to deal with it.
“Comments can be very pleasant.
You need to watch sports very sharply to contribute the right way.
“Even when talking about the players (teammates), you only talk about sports and you tell people how difficult they are from their shoes.
That’s what I’m trying to do.” I enjoy the process of understanding how each player will think at a certain time point and talk about what is the right thing to do at that time.
“It’s also extraordinary to sit with Nasser and Athers (Atherton).
They are the best in business and just to chat about the game with them is something I enjoy very well beside learning large quantities,” Karthik said.
He hasn’t played for India since losing the World Cup semi-finals to New Zealand in 2019 but Veteran Tamil Nadu has not given up on other comebacks.
“Many will depend on how IPL goes, so hope to do it well for the KKR and let’s see if it helps me (making a team of India).” Does it be more difficult than before for him to come back? “Well, playing for India is always difficult.
You just realize (when you are outside) how difficult it is sport.” Statistics say I have done it well for a certain period of time.
If I do it well in the second half of the IPL, who knows? “
