After representing the country for so many years, Dinesh Karthik has now made it official about saying goodbye to cricket. Yesterday, he took to social media and officially announced his retirement from all formats of cricket. It was on the cards, as the star player had hinted about quitting the game during IPL 2024. And finally, he did!
Karthik proved his mettle as a good striker of a ball and a wicketkeeper. On the international level, he has been a part of several glorious moments of the Indian cricket team, and even in IPL, he left a mark as a finisher. Most recently, he was a part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where his short innings turned out to be game-changing.
This year’s IPL eliminator between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals turned out to be the last cricket game in Dinesh Karthik’s career. As Karthik had already hinted at his retirement, the veteran cricketer received a guard of honor from the players of Royal Challengers Bengaluru after the match ended.
