Speaking with Cricbuzz in the interview, the Indian wicket-keeper also spoke about his IPL heartbreak before the inaugural season. Kartik spoke about how disappointed he was when CSK  chose Dhoni over him in IPL 2008.

“The first name I saw picked (by CSK in the first IPL auction) was MS Dhoni, for 1.5 million. He was sitting right down the corner from me. He didn’t even tell me a word that he was going to be picked by CSK. I guess he didn’t know, but that was the biggest dagger to my heart,” Karthik said.
