Reflecting on his journey, Dinesh Karthik shared his thoughts in a special video released by RCB.

"It will occasionally be an extremely emotional moment when you're done. This may be my final practice session. I'm not sure. All I can say, though, is that, as it should be, the voyage has been filled with both pleasant and painful memories. And it's contributed to my development into the appreciative person that I am today," Karthik stated in a video posted by RCB.

This heartfelt reflection highlights the emotional conclusion of his extensive career. Karthik also praised Virat Kohli, appreciating his support.

"I’m a big fan of his (Virat Kohli's) to know that he respects me and values me as a person. I think I’ll take that as a massive, massive success in my cricketing journey. Just want to thank people like him who have been there during my journey and I will do anything I can for RCB whenever possible," he added.

Karthik’s career statistics are impressive, with 4842 runs, 22 half-centuries, 145 catches, and 37 stumpings in 257 IPL matches, ranking second for the most appearances by any player in the league.

Despite the emotional farewell, Virat Kohli expressed his desire for Karthik to stay with RCB in IPL 2025, highlighting the value he brings to the franchise.
