The veteran Indian wicket-keeper batsman, Dinesh Karthik has been the latest edition into the cricketing commentary and he has become a fresh breath of air on commentary. His first commentary stint was during the ICC World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand in Southampton and made an instant impression. As a result, Dinesh Karthik was at it again during the second ODI between England and Sri Lanka at The Oval on Friday.
During the 2nd ODI between England and Sri Lanka at the Oval, fans hear Dinesh Karthik compare bats and neighbor’s wives. The 36-year old clearly said on air, “Bats Are Like Neighbour’s Wife, They Always Feel Better.” Before that he remarked, “Batsmen and not liking bats, they go hand in hand. Most of the batters don’t seem to like their bats.”

Dinesh Karthik had already grabbed the limelight with his maiden commentary stint, he trolled former English skipper, Nasser Hussain. The Tamil Nadu-born cricketer garnered a lot of praises from social media users for his entertaining comments, while Harsha Bhogle also hailed him for his brilliant commentary stints.

As far as the match was concerned, England dominated the change against Sri Lanka in the second ODI at The Oval. The hosts restricted the Lankans to 241 after deciding to bowl first. Dhananjaya de Silva scored a flamboyant 91, while Dasun Shanka played a decent knock of 47 as Sri Lanka fared with the bat better than in the first game.

But England, who welcomed Jason Roy back in the playing XI, did not wobble as seen in the opening game. Roy set the tone for a comfortable win by smashing a flamboyant fifty. After he and Jonny Bairstow perished for 60 and 29 respectively, Joe Root and Eoin Morgan steered the Englishmen home with an unbroken partnership of 140 runs. Captain Morgan returned to form, top-scoring with 75 to deliver a series win.
Here is how fans reacted to Karthik’s comment:
If you don't know what I'm talking about, DK said "Bats are like…a neighbour's wife. They always feel better."
Unnecessary and quite a disrespectful comment comparing anyone's wife / a woman to a bat. https://t.co/m3X51FsY7o— Tina Tengra 🙅🏻♀️ (@tinatengra07) July 2, 2021
not replying and flogging a dead horse anymore, the point here is simple – stop fucking comparing women to inanimate objects
