Royal Challengers Bangalore are out of IPL 2024 after losing to the Rajasthan Royals. At the same time, a chapter of Indian cricket ended. Dinesh Karthik left the field in tears. Before the start of the season, Karthik informed me that this was his last season. After qualifying for the playoffs with his back against the wall, he thought he would end his career as a champion. But Dick’s hope was not fulfilled.
Dinesh Karthik played some aggressive, impeccable innings at the beginning of this IPL. Dick’s batting in the slog overs was praised by all. Speculation started that Karthik might even get a chance in the T20 World Cup team. Karthik also said that he is ready to go to the T20 World Cup if given the opportunity. But in the end, the star wicketkeeper-batter did not get a chance in the T20 World Cup team.
Dinesh Karthik’s retirement may not have been on the minds of many after RCB’s loss against Rajasthan. But Dick’s tears bring it all to the fore. Virat Kohli is seen handling an emotional Dinesh Karthik on the field. DK hugs Kal one by one. He is also seen waving his hand at the audience. Finally, Virat’s embrace and the team’s guard of honor ended the DK chapter in Indian cricket.
Incidentally, Dinesh Karthik has scored 1025 runs in international Test cricket in a cricket career spanning almost two decades. 1 hundred, 7 fifties. Scored 1752 runs in 94 ODI matches with 9 half-centuries. Scored 686 runs in 60 matches in international T20 cricket. A half century. He scored 4842 runs and 22 half-centuries in 257 matches in his IPL career.
