Dinesh Karthik’s Witty Response to Fan’s Confusion Leaves Everyone Amused
Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik, renowned for his wicketkeeping and batting prowess, has recently retired from the sport. With an illustrious career spanning 180 international matches and 257 IPL games, Karthik has amassed an impressive 1025 runs in Tests, 1752 runs in ODIs, and 686 runs in T20Is.
Beyond his cricketing achievements, Karthik is an active social media presence, engaging his fans with witty posts. Recently, he provided a humorous response to a fan’s confusion, leaving everyone amused.
A fan mistakenly congratulated Karthik on Twitter for his performance in the film “Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba,” mistaking him for actor Vikrant Massey. Karthik’s witty reply, “Oh wow !!! Thanks,” sparked laughter among his followers. The confusion may have stemmed from the similar bearded appearances of Karthik and Massey.
“Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba,” starring Vikrant Massey, Taapsee Pannu, and Sunny Kaushal, is a sequel to the 2021 romantic-thriller “Haseen Dilruba.” It was released on Netflix on August 9.
In a significant development, Karthik has been signed by Paarl Royals for the third season of the SA20, becoming the first Indian cricketer to participate in the South African league. He expressed his excitement about returning to competitive cricket and contributing to the Royals’ success.
Karthik’s last T20 outing was for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 2024, where he scored 326 runs in 14 matches with an impressive strike rate of 187.36. His final international appearance was against Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup in Australia in 2022.
