Dinesh Karthik credits RCB fans above Virat Kohli in his final IPL interview
The career of one of the most important players came to an end with the exit of Royal Challenges Bangalore from the Indian Premier League in 2024. Dinesh Karthik, when he emerged in the Indian cricket scene, was seen as a very talented wicketkeeper-batter. However, with the rise of MS Dhoni, Karthik went into the shadows. But then his persistence paid off, and he made a comeback to the team during the latter stages of his career. In the cash-rich league, he featured for teams like the Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians.
But his recent exploits were in RCB colours. In fact, he made a comeback for the 2022 T20 World Cup team on the back of some terrific performances for RCB.
Dinesh Karthik said in a video posted by RCB on X, “RCB have been extraordinary. I think RCB basically means the fans. There is nothing else I can think of when I think of RCB. Yes, Virat Kohli is a very, very big name. Very large part of RCB. But I think the fans are even bigger than that. Literally, because of the amount of love I received. Sometimes I feel the 2022 T20 World Cup, and when I did get picked, it was due to the RCB fans. There was such a huge wave of people saying, ”
The interview is being talked about on social media as the ‘last interview’ of Dinesh Karthik as an IPL player.
