The RCB-shared film opens with an interview with former captain Virat Kohli, who talks about his 2009 first meeting with Karthik in 2009.
.
“The first time I met DK, I remember we were playing in South Africa, if I am not mistaken, in the Champions Trophy 2009. It was the first time I shared the change room with Dinesh, and I found him to be a very amusing, I would say hyper-active, confused person. Most of the time, he was moving all over the place, never stopping. That was my first impression of Dinesh,” Kohli said in the video.
“Outstanding talent, brilliant batter to watch, and my first impression and present-day impression are not far apart. Just that he has become wiser and calmed down a lot,” he added.

“Off the field, I have had some really nice and interesting conversations with him. He is a wise man and has great knowledge about a lot of things, not just cricket. I have thoroughly enjoyed my conversations with him. Even in that phase in 2022, when I did not have a great IPL season. I was really struggling for confidence. He sat me down a couple of times and gave me a very honest explanation of how he is seeing things, and maybe I am not able to see them myself,” Kohli said.
“So, I just like his honesty and courage to go and speak to anyone about things that he dearly feels about. And that, I think, is the most special thing for me when it comes to Dinesh, and that’s one thing I have always cherished about him. That’s why we get along really, really well,” Kohli added.

Subsequently, Deepika Pallikal, Karthik’s wife, revealed some of the cricketer’s most memorable memories in the video. But she also acknowledged that it would be difficult for him to step away from the game. Deepika sobbed on television as she recapped her experiences.

Yuvraj Singh Insult MS Dhoni as He Names His All-Time XI: Yuvraj Singh, the skipper of the India Champions, picked his all-time team after the team became winners in the World Championship of Legends on Saturday, defeating Pakistan by five wickets in a thrilling final.
When selecting his starting XI, Yuvraj—who is still among the most decorated cricket players in history—made some logical choices. Among Indian hitters, players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Sachin Tendulkar made the cut.
The opening batsmen for him were Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli coming in at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. Yuvraj selected AB de Villiers at number five, and Adam Gilchrist, the specialist wicket-keeper, at number six.

Australian spin bowling star Shane Warne was ranked No. 7 by Yuvraj, and Muttiah Muralitharan was ranked No. 8. Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath were the bowlers at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively, while Andrew Flintoff, a former England all-rounder, was a candidate at No. 11.
In the championship game, the Yuvraj-led squad proved why they were the best by winning a close battle between two very competitive teams. After winning the toss, the Pakistani Champions chose to bat first and amassed a respectable score of 156/6 in 20 overs.

The innings was anchored by Shoaib Malik’s 41 off 36 balls, which was a notable performance. Irfan Pathan clean bowled Captain Younis Khan for seven runs, ensuring he would not leave an impression. The middle-order collapsed and Misbah-ul-Haq was retired hurt after a brisk 18, late contributions from Sohail Tanvir (19* off 9) ensured Pakistan posted a respectable score.
Indian bowlers, led by Anureet Singh who claimed three wickets with support from Vinay Kumar, Pawan Negi and Irfan Pathan (one wicket each) were instrumental in containing Pakistan’s batting lineup.

India Champions responded by deliberately beginning their run chase. Even though Ambati Rayudu lost Robin Uthappa (10) early in the innings, his brilliant fifty off thirty balls laid the groundwork for the Men in Blue’s chase.
In the same over, Suresh Raina also left cheaply for four, aiding Pakistan’s recovery. However, Rayudu and Gurkeerat Singh Maan’s (34 off 33) solid combination kept India in the game.
Rayudu and Mann also departed in a space of 10 runs but the momentum stayed firmly in India’s favour with Yusuf Pathan’s blistering 30 off 16 balls before the latter was dismissed in the penultimate over.
Yuvraj Singh’s All-Time XI:
Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Adam Gilchrist (wk), Andre Flintoff, Shane Warne, Mutttiah Muralitharan, Glenn McGrath, Wasim Akram. Yuvraj Singh (12th man)
