He likes the opposite way of approaching things – Basu Shanker on Dinesh Karthik

Former India and current strength and conditioning coach of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Basu Shanker, during an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia on his YouTube channel BeerBiceps, talked about fitness culture in Team India and shared a light-hearted story about the 37-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman.

“He has a lot of.. I won’t say superstitions.. he calls it ‘deja vus’. He is mentally very strong, but by any chance, if you tell him, ‘Dinesh, you are doing great. You will score a hundred’, he will probably stop saying hello to you,” Shanker revealed.

“Go tell him, ‘you’re batting sh*t, you are going to get out early today’, and he will hug you. He likes the opposite way of approaching things.

“Before he go to bat, he picks one guy and he will talk to him. He has got his routines and I have made a lot of fun of him. We take a mickey out of him all the time. That’s the beauty of going on the tour with him!” he further said.
