Dinesh Karthik trolls Australian media for Ashwin obsession: Playing more mind games with Australian team

Veteran Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik took a jibe at the Australian media on social media for their obsession with star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Seems to play more mind games with the Australian team than the other way around #INDvsAUS #BGT2023," Dinesh Karthik replied, taking a dig at the Australian media. The debate over the "doctored Nagpur pitch" is over, and the same Australian media has now revealed that the team's "state of mind," rather than the wicket, is to blame for the massive innings and 132-run defeat in the first Test of the four-match Border Gavaskar Trophy. Ashwin also took a sly dig at the Australian media during a conversation with captain Rohit Sharma following India's innings and 132-run victory over Australia in Nagpur on Saturday.
