Former India pacer S Sreesanth was caught aback by the remark and stated that Dinesh is a really’sweet person’ off the field in the same segment.
“Running between the wickets is something he (Rohit Sharma) would not enjoy with DK (Dinesh Karthik), but off the field, DK is such a sweet person and he is always there for you and all that, so it was pretty surprising,” Sreesanth added.
