Dinesh Karthik, a seasoned wicketkeeper-batsman from India, will once more don the commentator's hat for the World Test Championship final match between Australia and India beginning on June 7. For the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 2023, the 37-year-old had a terrible season at the plate. In numerous franchise and international events, a large number of active players are participating as commentators.

Dinesh Karthik is one of the well-known names on the commentary team for the grand final in England, which also features Ricky Ponting, Matthew Hayden, Justin Langer, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri, Nasser Hussain, and Kumar Sangakkara.

The former captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders was a breath of fresh air in the commentary box with his technical insights and his humorous narrative that won over many fans all over the world as he entered the spotlight in commentary during the English summer of 2021.

Dinesh Karthik had an underwhelming IPL 2023

It's interesting to note that Dinesh Karthik also served on the commentary team for the 2021 WTC Final, which Team India lost to New Zealand in 2021 at Southampton. India and Australia will square off in the 2023 World Tennis Championship Final on June 7 at Kensington Oval, with a reserve day on June 12.

Many fans believe this may be the end of the road for the comeback man Dinesh Karthik in cricket as he will forgo the TNPL 2023 to join the commentary team for the Ashes in 2023. The Royal Challengers Bangalore finisher has only managed to score 140 runs in 13 games for his side.

For the broadcaster Sky Sports, who will primarily air the Test series in England and the UK alongside the legend of games for International Cricket, Dinesh Karthik will also be seen commentating on Ashes 2023. The RCB finisher will be the only Indian player on the commentary team for Ashes 2023. In June and July, Edgbaston, Lord's, Headingley, Old Trafford, and The Oval will host the five-game Ashes series. Due to its 4-0 victory in the series in 2021–22, Australia presently controls the Ashes.
