“Preparation, I think that’s very important and it sounds a little monotonous but that’s what helps you most aspects in life.

“You know, in an exam, if you’re prepared, even if it’s a tough question you have a better chance of doing well. I think sport is a lot like that, you prepare well and you know you keep doing it,” said the veteran Indian batsman.

Karthik further spoke about how he visualises match situations during his preparations at the nets as well. RCB’s last win against the Royals was a perfect example to see how Karthik goes about his business and uses the field in the process.
