Dinesh Karthik has been ripped apart with an explosive “MS Dhoni” dig for being “now a liability” and “always trying to sabotage RCB”. As his IPL 2023 problems worsen, Dinesh Karthik has come under fire for failing to end another game for RCB.
Dinesh Karthik’s problems don’t appear to have an immediate resolution. Karthik struggled a lot in the IPL 2023 despite being in excellent form the previous year. And his repeated mistakes cost Royal Challengers Bangalore multiple games.
Karthik scored 330 runs in 16 games last year and only 83 in 8. So his terrible season is beginning to earn him the nickname “one-season wonder”. Additionally, everyone is getting frustrated by his inability to put RCB games away.
Fans mocked Dinesh Karthik for failing to put another RCB game to bed.
Just a reminder MS Dhoni chased 91 runs in 7 overs at Chinnaswamy.

Last night at the Chinnaswamy with RCB needing to chase down 201, Karthik was their best hope. However, not only did he struggle during his 18-ball 22-run knock. But his miscommunication also led to Suyash Prabhudesai being run out twice in two games. Which infuriated the crowd even more.
Fans are not impressed as a result. Many people expressed their displeasure with DK on Twitter. With some calling him a full-time commentator and others criticizing his comparisons to the great MS Dhoni in terms of his role as a finisher.
Karthik began to draw comparisons to Dhoni when he won games for RCB in the IPL 2022 consistently. He was even called up to the Indian squad as a result. At the T20 World Cup, where he severely underperformed, Karthik was their chosen finisher.
As a result, he was later dropped from the team. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy match between India and Australia saw Karthik return to his commentary duties. Dhoni himself praised and approved of his analysis. He even had a few on-air arguments with former Australian star Mark Waugh.
DK has encountered criticism on social media before. He was also in the firing line in RCB’s season opener against Lucknow Super Giants. Where a turnover on the game’s final ball cost his team the victory.
With one needed to win off the deciding ball, Harshal Patel defeated Avesh Khan outside off, but DK was unable to properly collect the ball. Karthik threw the ball after making two mistakes, but it was already too late.
