ENG vs SL: "Bats are like neighbors wife" says Karthik while broadcasting

Dinesh Karthik’s hilarious comment: Indian wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik is having quite a time in the broadcast room, and is being lauded by fans all over for his knowledge in the game and articulation.

After voicing it out in the WTC Final, Karthik was added to the Sky Sports Panel for the England vs Sri Lanka ODI Series. It was in the second ODI between the two teams, where Karthik, once again stumped his co-commentators and the rest of the listeners through his hilarious take.

Dinesh Karthik at his best

It was Joe Root who was batting in the second innings, and requested for a change in bat from the dressing room. Seeing that, Karthik took a dig on batsmen all across the world by stating;

“Batsmen are not likings bats, they go hand in hand. Most of the batters don’t seem to like their bats. They either like another person’s bat, and bat’s are like a neighbor’s wife. They always feel better”
