In an exclusive interview at the India Today South Conclave, former cricketer Dinesh Karthik provided insights into the Indian cricket setup. He addressed the exclusion of Shreyas Iyer from the T20 World Cup standby list and offered his assessment of India’s standing for the Asia Cup. Karthik reflected on his career, including his adaptation during the rise of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, whom he described as a ‘special player’ and a ‘once in a generation cricketer, irreplaceable,’ naming him captain of his all-time T20 team. He also lauded Virat Kohli as a ‘modern day hero’ for his skill and ability to handle distractions, and identified Shubman Gill as the ‘next big thing’ in Indian cricket. Karthik discussed the impact of ‘new age batting’ from players like Suryakumar Yadav on T20 cricket, and shared his experiences from the 2007 T20 World Cup win and the Nidahas Trophy victory. He also raised concerns about the future of Test cricket in an ecosystem favoring shorter formats, spoke about the psychological pressure on young players with large IPL contracts, and expressed his unfulfilled desire to play for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). #dineshkarthik #indiatodaysouthconclave #cricket #teamindia #shreyasiyer #msdhoni #asiacup #t20worldcup #indvpak #cricketinterview #suryakumaryadav #ipl #indiancricket #dkoncricket #rohitsharma #viratkohli #rcb #csk #testcricket #shubmangill #rishabhpant #kingkohli #thala
