Dinesh Karthik on Saturday said that he would like to feature in any tough situation that ensures youngsters in a team get the job done and win matches.

“All that I have done is I have not tried anything different. I keep saying (myself) is to win matches. I want to be a part of that situation so that make it easy for youngsters”, Dinesh Karthik said at the sidelines of an event here.

He and his wife, famous squash player Deepika Pallikkal, were present in the 10th anniversary of Primal Patterns, founded by Shanker Basu, former strength and conditioning trainer of Indian cricket team.

“Using my experience and my prowess I think it is important that we face all the tough situations and help the team make sure to cross the winning line” Karthik told reporters. “Now fitness has become as a lifestyle. People go to the gymnasium even while holidaying”.

Deepika Pallikal added squash was an individual sport but there too one still needed a coach, fitness coach, and a psychologist.

“Basu sir is everything. I would call up Anuradha (Primal Patterns management team) for my diet, Suresh sir (Primal Patterns) for my physio. Here (in Primal Patterns) everything for an athlete is taken care of”, he said.

While talking about Virat Kohli, Basu said “I think there is still more exploring for him to do. We are looking at performance. In fitness, the sky is the limit. The beauty of Virat Kohli is that he is ever hungry (to learn more, to stay fit)”, he said.

Basu said his dream and vision was to make India a centre for strength and conditioning like developed countries are referred to.

“Earlier people used to say that the U.S., Australia (as fitness hub). I think we (India) have the potential now. It is not rocket science. It is very much possible to become World No 1 in strength and conditioning”, he said.
