Atherton’s IPL Roast: Karthik’s Virat Kohli Chat Backfires?

The IPL final saw a hilarious moment between commentators and former India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik. During a lengthy timeout, Karthik was seen engaging in a serious conversation with Virat Kohli. This didn’t go unnoticed by the commentary team, especially Michael Atherton, who playfully questioned Karthik’s contribution to the exchange.

Atherton’s lighthearted ribbing centered on the fact that Kohli was dismissed in the very next over. The implication? Perhaps Karthik’s advice wasn’t quite as effective as hoped! Karthik himself struggled to recall the details of their discussion, adding to the amusement. Fellow commentator Nasser Hussain added to the playful roasting, highlighting Karthik’s unusually quiet response to Atherton’s teasing.

The entire exchange provided a humorous and memorable moment during an otherwise tense final match, highlighting the lighter side of the intense competition.
