Recently, KKR wicketkeeper-batsman Karthik played in the Indian premier League (IPL) in the UAE, which concluded just before the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 kicked off.
After enduring a tough first half of the 2021 edition of the IPL, Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders scripted a remarkable turn around in the UAE phase to reach the finals, where the Knights lost to the Chennai Super Kings by 27 runs.
Prior to the UAE leg of the IPL, Karthik drew a lot of praise for his commentary stint during India's tour of England. Meanwhile, Asian Games medallist Palikkal last played in 2018.
