Indian veteran wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik had a fanboy moment when he posted a picture with actor Yash, who is widely popular for his role in the Kannada movie KGF. Directed by Prashanth Neel, KGF revolves around gold mafia. The movie shattered many box office records and made Yash a fan favorite. KGF’s sequel, which was released in 2022, collected a whopping Rs 509 crore (Hindi version). KGF’s song ‘Salaam Rocky Bhai’ gained huge popularity among the masses. Similarly, Karthik also showed his love for the song and Yash and shared a photo with the KGF actor on his Twitter account.
“Salaam Rocky Bhai,” Karthik captioned the post.

Karthik is known for his exceptional power hitting performance for Team India. The 37-year-old batsman was sidelined after the 2019 ODI World Cup, but his blistering performance in the 2022 IPL made his way back to the national team. He then played in the T20Is against South Africa, followed by the Asia Cup and the 2022 T20 World Cup.
Most recently, Karthik came in support of Indian batsman KL Rahul, who was widely criticized for his poor form in the ongoing Test series against Australia.
“This is a professional world, you deal with those sad moments, but as a player when I look at what he’s been through. When you go out like that, you know very well that this could be your last innings. It has been happened to me when you go into the dressing room, quietly walk to the toilet and shed a tear. It’s not a nice feeling because there’s not much you can do,” Karthik said on Cricbuzz.
“He’s also sure that if he gets dropped for the next game, which is pretty much a possibility, it’s not because of that one innings, but because of what happened in the last five-six friendlies. “He’s a class player. He is very good in all formats. At the moment I don’t think it’s the technique, but what goes on between the ears. He may need some time not to play. Come back fresh for the ODIs.”
