"He has batted well in the recent past against spin"- Dinesh Karthik on Virat Kohli ahead of RCB vs CSK IPL 2025 match

Speaking to the press ahead of the IPL 2025 clash against CSK, RCB batting coach Dinesh Karthik expressed confidence in Virat Kohli's abilities while facing spinners. He pointed out that Kohli's recent performances in crunch moments for India in ICC tournaments have come in spin-friendly conditions. Dinesh Karthik said: (via ESPNcricinfo)

"He has batted well in the recent past against spin, especially in white-ball cricket. So, I don't want to go too deep into stats. I am not very aware. But if I remember, in the [T20] World Cup finals, he got runs where it mattered. And apart from that, in the Champions Trophy, he had a good tournament second-highest run-getter [for India]. And that doesn't come without playing on spin."

Karthik continued:

"So, I believe right now, he is batting as well as he has ever done. And you speak to him even today, just now as I came out. He wanted to work on one more shot. At this point of time, to work on one more shot, tells you the hunger that he has in his mindset. He wants to just improve and keep raising the bar. So, he is a special player. And at this point of time, the way I see it, he is batting as confidently and as well as he has ever done in IPL."
