Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik has formally retired from the game. He was a standout player in all three formats of the game: Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. With 257 Indian Premier League games and 180 international appearances under his belt, the renowned wicketkeeper-batter leaves behind an incredible career. With 1025 runs in Tests, 1752 in ODIs, and 686 in T20Is, Karthik accumulated impressive totals. In addition to his accomplishments in cricket, Karthik is still active on social media, often interacting with his followers.
However, his recent interaction with one of his fans delighted the whole internet. After a fan misidentified him with someone else, he, with his sharp wit, amusingly responded to the fan’s comment.

It’s also important to note that Vikrant and Karthik both have similar kind of bearded faces. Maybe that’s why, the fan mistook Karthik for Vikrant.

Dinesh Karthik wants Vikrant Massey to play his role in his biopic
During his Cricbuzz program “Hey CB with DK,” Dinesh Karthik talked about actors who may play well-known cricketers in biopics. Among his choices, Karthik jokingly proposed Vikrant Massey for the part, pointing out that a lot of people claim they look alike.

In addition, he named Ranveer Singh for Hardik Pandya, Vijay Sethupathi for Rohit Sharma, and Ranbir Kapoor for Virat Kohli. Karthik’s humorous section, which was inspired by the amusing exchange between Allu Arjun and David Warner, provided a unique perspective on the casting of cricket players in movies.
What do you think about this casting? Do you think that Dinesh is choosing the right actor for his biopic?
