“I think all of us enjoy watching Virat Kohli play. There's no doubt about it. I just want him to be happy. I've met him a few times in the UK, and he seems to be in a very happy place, and if that is what is going to give him happiness, so be it," Karthik said.
"So, when he is able to understand and see that that is what his body and his mind are telling him to do, for most of the time, I think we need to respect that," he added.
