Dinesh Karthik pointed out how his exit was very different from others, like former England captain Nasser Hussain, who got a more respectful farewell and respect from his then-coach.
Notably, Karthik returned to India’s Test team in June 2018 when regular wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was injured.

These poor scores ended up costing him his place in the team, and his Lord’s outing turned out to be his last game for whites for India, as Rishabh Pant, on the back of his aggressive strokeplay and IPL form, replaced Karthik. However, Pant was not that impressive behind the stumps, but his fearless batting made waves instantly.
But sadly, he finished in Lord’s, and I finished in Lord’s, the only difference being he went and knocked on the coach’s door, saying, ‘I think I am done.’ In my case, the coach came and said, ‘Don’t bother coming for the next test; I think you are done’.”

Meanwhile, after Dinesh Karthik’s playful jab, Ravi Shastri fired back in classic style to roast the fellow commentator in his style with perfect sarcasm. While talking about India’s new generation of players, the former Indian head coach casually started naming players like Rishabh Pant.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, as the others burst into laughter. Shastri said on the podcast, “All these youngsters coming through the ranks, Rishabh Pant—he replaced DK—Shubman Gill…Hardik Pandya…” before bursting into laughter as Michael Atherton interrupted and said, “He could have mentioned a hundred other names.”
