Former India and RCB wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik recently shared insights into Sai Sudharsan’s off-field habits, highlighting the youngster’s discipline and maturity. According to Karthik, Sudharsan maintains a journal and displays a level-headed approach despite his young age.
He further noted that the left-hander incorporates practices like meditation and yoga into his routine, which reflects his commitment to self-improvement. Karthik believes the 23-year-old is mentally prepared to perform at the international stage. He made the remarks in a Sky Sports Cricket YouTube video (around 9:30):
“I’m pretty sure he writes a journal. He is someone who has a very old head on very young shoulders. And He does a lot of things off the field, like meditation, plenty of yoga, and has a very long warm-up regime as well.”
“He is a man who is ready to shine on this international scene. In the limited opportunities that he has had in ODI, he has done really well, and now he has got his opportunity in Test cricket as well.”
While discussing Sai Sudharsan’s Test debut, Karthik commented (around the 10:00):
“First innings, caught down the leg side, but today he looked solid. He played the part, and as luck would have it, it’s not going to be easy. You need to fight it out. One innocuous shot and caught at midwicket. That’s how the game goes.”
“He’s like the Kohinoor!” – Dinesh Karthik hails Bumrah during ENG vs IND 1st Test
Jasprit Bumrah stood out as India’s sole standout in England’s first innings, claiming his 14th Test fifer. Dinesh Karthik praised his all-format brilliance, calling him as valuable as the Kohinoor (7:24):
“He is as valuable as the Kohinoor diamond. I hope people realize how important he is to the Indian bowling attack across formats. You give him any ball, old ball, new ball, white ball, pink ball, green ball, I don’t know what ball you cna give him, he will make it work.”
“He’s got immense skill set, but more importantly, he’s got a brain that ticks, that knows what the batsman is trying to do and how am I going to pick up his wicket.”
