Dinesh Karthik, an Indian experienced wicketkeeper-batsman, is currently chilling out with former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar ahead of their commentary for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final.
Karthik and Gavaskar are the only Indians who are part of the commentary panel for Sky Sports for the WTC final encounter.
Gavaskar is one of the best and experienced commentators around the globe, on the other side Karthik made his debut in commentary during England’s tour of India for the official broadcasters of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
Dinesh Karthik and Sunil Gavaskar were quarantined in the Serbian capital of Belgrade before travelling to the UK. After their completion of quarantine both of them went for the outing as Dinesh Karthik took to Twitter to post a picture of himself hanging out with Sunil Gavaskar. In his tweet, he quoted: “Lunch Date with the legend.”

The wicketkeeper-batsman is excited to accompany Gavaskar and is grateful to be part of the commentary panel. Karthik told Sports Today:
“Very grateful, it’s a blessing that I am able to be part of this match in whatever front. I just saw the roster the other day, there are some of the legends of the game. Another legend, who will be sitting a couple of floors below is probably one of the greatest to have played the sport, Mr Gavaskar. I spent some time with him, had some meals with him, I don’t know how many people are privileged enough to do that, I think I am very blessed, I am very thankful to god.”
