ENG vs IND: Dinesh Karthik hilariously trolls Nasser Hussain to explain Indian fans' situation

Dinesh Karthik has lit up the English summer with his commentary gig with Sky Sports. The Tamil Nadu cricketer was first heard as a commentator in the ICC World Test Championship final at Southampton. After this, Karthik extended his time in England, as he went up behind the mic for the inaugural season of the Hundred. 

While commentating in the Hundred and other T20 Blast county matches, Karthik appeared for the England-India five-match Test series. So far, Karthik’s witty commentary and remarks have been hilarious, to say the least, and fans have totally enjoyed it. The world saw a new side of Karthik, who had been around as long as anyone can remember. 

One more thing that fans have absolutely loved about him has been his social media engagements. As India battled hard against England in the third Test at Headingley, Karthik put up a post on his Twitter which just summed up how all the Indian fans were feeling as he referred to the situation in which India are after the first three days of the Leeds Test. 

Dinesh Karthik sums up the situation of Indian fans perfectly

Karthik posted a picture of him and Michael Atherton commentating together, while Nasser Hussain watched from the behind, smiling, almost grinning as the Indian batsmen batted along. “Situation of Indian fans (@nassercricket) when they know @cheteshwar1 & @imVkohli are at the crease P.S. The admiration in Nasser’s eyes for the skill he sees in front of him is genuine,” the tweet read. 

On day three of the Leeds Test, India came out to bat after England had posted 432, with a first-innings lead of 354 runs. With a truck load of runs to be scored to save the match, India ended the day on 215 for 2 with Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara unbeaten on 45 and 91 respectively. The duo added 99 runs for the third wicket and looked in great touch. India fans would hope that the two batsmen score big runs so that India can save this Test.

This match will also mark DK’s last stint this English summer. After this game, he will travel to the UAE to take part in the preparations of his IPL franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders. The second leg of the IPL 2021 is set to restart on September 19 and Karthik would be required to reach ahead of time in order to get prepared.
