It was reported before the 2024 edition of the IPL that the senior India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik would be playing his final season in the tournament and the 38-year-old has confirmed the same during the Sky Sports Podcast with former England cricketers Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton. Karthik, who has taken to commentary and broadcasting like fish to water mentioned that it has been difficult balancing the two and felt that it is the right time.
“I’m pretty sure that this is my last IPL. Why I don’t commit, I don’t know, the human mind is pretty fickle,” Karthik said while speaking to Nasser and Atherton on Sky Sports Podcast. When pressed by Nasser as to why he was retiring despite having had a great start to this year’s IPL, Karthik took a dig at the former England captain.
