    "If given the power to read minds, will get into MS Dhoni’s mind", says Dinesh Karthik in fun interaction

    Dinesh Karthik answered an array of questions, and it's no surprise that the star wicketkeeper claimed if he had the capacity to read minds, he'd try to read MS Dhoni's mind.

    In a fun-filled conversation for the BCCI on
    Sunday, veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik gave a sneak peek into his
    selections, favourite athletes, and so on. The Royal Challengers Bangalore star
    appears relaxed and collected after returning to the senior national team for
    the current T20 series against South Africa.

    mso-themecolor:text1">When asked what he would have done if he had the power to
    fly or read people's minds, Dinesh Karthik replied: "I would fly to Alaska
    if I had the ability to do so." Alaska has gotten a lot of good press. If
    I'm given the capacity to read people's minds, I'm going to try to get into MS
    Dhoni's head."

    that when he goes outside of Tamil Nadu, he has better access to well-made
    chai.



    mso-themecolor:text1">Karthik did not hesitate when asked to choose between
    Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.



    "For
    lunch, I'd want to have Roger Federer. I've always admired the way he conducts
    himself both on and off the field. " Karthik remarked.



    mso-themecolor:text1">Karthik further stated that he prefers to watch Messi
    over Cristiano Ronaldo. "Messi, I believe he's slightly different, and I
    enjoy watching him in what little I've seen of him."



    mso-themecolor:text1">Karthik, who prefers team dinners over movie evenings
    with his teammates, is in good spirits after making his T20I comeback for the
    first time in three years.



    mso-themecolor:text1">Karthik was rewarded for his outstanding performance with
    RCB in the IPL 2022. In 16 matches, the former Kolkata Knight Riders skipper,
    who was purchased by RCB at the IPL mega auction in 2022, made 330 runs with a
    strike rate of above 180.



    In India's 7-wicket loss
    to South Africa in the first T20I, Karthik faced only two deliveries. Cuttack
    will host the second match of the five-match series on Sunday.
