Dinesh Karthik has thrown his weight behind Tamil Nadu skipper Sai Kishore, who faced criticism for choosing to bat in bowler-friendly conditions during the Ranji Trophy semi-finals against Mumbai. The move drew disappointment from Tamil Nadu coach Sulakshan Kulkarni, who believed the team lost the match at the toss itself. Karthik’s support underscores the team’s unity despite the contentious decision, highlighting the intense dynamics within cricketing strategies.

“This is soo WRONG This is so disappointing from the coach ..instead of backing the captain who has brought the team to the semis after 7 yrs and thinking it’s a start for good things to happen, the coach has absolutely thrown his captain and team under the bus,” Karthik wrote on his ‘X’ post.
