Karthik is batting in great form. It is as if the Indian cricketer has been reborn in the IPL. He spent two seasons in KKR. However, in the current IPL (IPL 2022) from this season he plays for RCB for Rs. 5.5 crore. Many assumes he can become a finisher of the team. He has scored 209 runs in the last 7 matches at a strike rate of 198. Many have called him a ‘360 degree’ player. Proteas legend AB de Villiers is fascinated by Kartik’s batting. Even watching Karthik’s batting, ABD wanted to return to cricket.

In an interview, De Villiers said, “Dinesh Karthik’s batting making me feel like I want to go and play cricket again by watching him play,he plays under pressure and making me excited. Right now he is in the best form of his life.He has lot of experience. RCB has already won 2-3 matches. He looks like I’m playing cricket again. His batting is thrilling me. RCB will go a long way with Karthik’s bat.”

AB also said: “He loves to play under pressure. He keeps himself busy on the wicket. The last time I saw him commentating in the UK. He’s probably at the end of his career. That’s why he’s so startling. I was shocked to see him play like this. I did not expect that. Although very capable. “
