Dinesh Karthik Expresses Admiration for AR Rahman, Aspires to Swap Lives for a Week
Former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has recently retired from all forms of cricket, but his passion for the game and his creative spirit remain unyielding. In a recent episode of Cricbuzz’s video series ‘HeyCB,’ Karthik revealed his admiration for legendary music composer and singer AR Rahman and expressed his desire to swap lives with him for a week.
When asked by a fan who he would like to swap lives with for a week, Karthik promptly replied, “I would love to swap lives with AR Rahman.” He went on to explain that he has been a huge fan of Rahman’s music for years and has never had the opportunity to meet him.
Karthik expressed his fascination with Rahman’s creative process and his ability to consistently produce exceptional music for nearly three decades. “I would love to go into his brain and see what keeps him ticking,” he said.
However, Karthik acknowledged that it would be a challenge for him to spend sleepless nights creating new music compositions, as Rahman is known to do. “I have heard he works a lot through the night. That will be a challenge, but I still won’t mind getting into his brain,” he said with a smile.
Karthik announced his retirement from cricket in June 2023 after a successful career that spanned 26 Tests, 94 ODIs, and 60 T20Is for India. He is now actively involved as a commentator and expert, sharing his insights on the game.
