Dinesh Karthik praised Mumbai Indians for offering ample resources and coaching support, creating an environment conducive to maximizing players’ potential.

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik, currently with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2024, reflected on his time with Mumbai Indians, highlighting their player development ethos. Karthik praised MI for their comprehensive facilities and support system, regretting his decision not to be retained after his stint from 2012-13.

Speaking on Ravichandran Ashwin’s podcast, Kartik emphasized MI’s commitment to providing resources, coaching, and practice opportunities, enabling players to excel. He commended MI’s focus on Indian cricketers and top-notch training facilities, noting their readiness to assist players even during Ranji Trophy matches.

“What MI does is provide resources in terms of practice and access to the coaches whenever you want to upskill your game. They’re always there, creating an ecosystem for you to become the best player that you can be,” said Kartik.

“You can tell MI that in between Ranji Trophy matches, I want to practice and they have a field, they have coaches, they have balls and they have bowlers. They have sidearms, they will give you everything; they’ll give you a stay, they’ll give you flight tickets. They will give you everything possible to become the best version of yourself,” he added.

The cricketer also praised MI’s significant investments and facilities, considering them as key motivators for player performance.

“They’ve created a nice ecosystem, and you can see that they have a ground in Ghansoli, which is beautiful. They have wickets for you; they have a ground, as I said. They have balls. Each Kookaburra ball is Rs 15,000. When you play with a Kookaburra ball, it is very different from playing with any other cricket ball. So to provide 20 to 30 balls is Rs 3 lakh a practice session… Rs 3-4 lakh per practice session,” Karthik continued.

“You are impacting the player at a very subconscious level by saying we care for you,” he concluded.
