'A Little Too Luxurious for us Today': Dinesh Karthik Shares Hilarious Airport Video Featuring Legendary Commentators

India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik, who is currently busy with World Cup 2023 commentary duties, posted a hilarious video, featuring his co-commentators, at an airport. Karthik uploaded a video of himself along with the likes of South African legend Shaun Pollock, Australia’s former opening batter Matthew Hayden and ex-English cricketer Mark Nicholas.

All three legendary players, along with Karthik, have been a part of the ODI World Cup commentary panel. In the video, Karthik joked about how such cricket stars were “brought to their knees” by an Indian airline. Sharing the footage, Karthik wrote, “A little too luxurious for us today”. The hilarious yet heart-warming interaction between the cricket legends sparked several reactions on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

One of the fans was interested in the World Cup game scheduled that day as she jokingly wrote, “Australia will beat Sri Lanka today. That’s the truth & whether you land in Lucknow – Trust the airlines”.

Another fan was happy to see the former English cricketer Mark Nicholas attend the World Cup in India. He wrote, “Good to see Mark Nicholas back in India.”

One of the replies highlighted the importance of Mark Nicholas in the commentary box, especially at cricket’s biggest tournament. “Only yesterday I was thinking of Mark Nicholas and today he is here. The World Cup doesn’t feel complete without the gravitating voice of Mark Nicholas”, he wrote.

A fan was quick to admit that the sight of the huge cricket stars together was enough to result in him fainting if he walked past them. He said, “Sheesh! Way to keep you guys grounded. I’d have fainted if I’d walked past & seen you guys sitting this way”.

While another fan talked about how Dinesh Karthik’s presence was required in every friend group to act as a stress buster. He posted, “Every group needs someone like DK as a stress buster.”

Dinesh Karthik and his fellow commentators were supposed to head to the Australia-Sri Lanka World Cup 2023 game scheduled to take place in Lucknow but they were seemingly delayed due to some technical difficulties.

Speaking of the game, Australia fielded first after losing the toss. Aussies had a poor start as they failed to scalp some early wickets to gain early control. Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera stitched a 125-run partnership during the early stages of the innings. Despite the good start, the Asian outfit lost control of the match after the 20th over as both Pat Cummins and Adam Zampa combined for four wickets. The match was interrupted by rain in the 32nd over.
