‘Weatherman DK Is Back’ – Dinesh Karthik seen in a new role ahead of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023

Dinesh Karthik, an Indian wicketkeeper-batter, has played a variety of roles throughout his cricketing career. He has experience as a wicketkeeper, finisher, and well-liked commentator, and now as a weather forecaster. The player, who was born in Tamil Nadu, is now prepared to make his home debut as a commentator for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which will begin on February 9.

Karthik also made a special announcement on Monday in advance of this task. The 37-year-old sent out a cryptic tweet a week before the first match of the series, which confused site visitors. Karthik wrote that he will make another debut against Australia after being absent from the national team since the 2022 20-20 World Cup.

The veteran player stated that he will now begin his term as a commentator in a completely new character. Karthik stated that he will take the weatherman’s hat for his first task of the series. In the past, when Karthik provided commentary for India’s tour of England in 2021, his weather reports went viral.

“The Weatherman DK is back in popular demand for India vs Australia. The first assignment today at 5.30 pm on Instagram,” the Bangalore franchise batter. The post quickly became popular. “Good to have u back in the commentary box DK,” wrote a fan on Twitter.

After the 2019 World Cup, Karthik left the national team and accepted a contract with Sky Sports for the 2021 season. He did commentary from his residence during the India-England white-ball series. He visited the UK in June and attended every game from the commentary box. Throughout The Hundred, he also offered his perspectives.

Karthik is scheduled to make his “commentary debut” against Australia after not doing so in India. Karthik is anticipated to play in the Indian T20 League for a few more years even if it appears like his international cricket career is now gone.

His 2004 Test debut occurred against the Kangaroos, as Karthik indicated in his tweet. The following 14 years saw him coming in and going out of the side. During the 2018 South Africa tour, Karthik last wore a test hat.
