However, Karthik was in action for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the recently concluded IPL season. But, it was a failed season for the RCB veteran batter as he scored only 140 runs in 13 matches, at an average of 11.67. He also managed four ducks this season. So, fans now came up and shared their views on the news of him doing the commentary again. 

"It will be very interesting to see if India go down that route where they play both the spinners.” - Dinesh Karthik

However, ahead of this clash, Dinesh Karthik came up with his predicted bowling line up for Team India for the final against the Aussies. In the review show of the Apex Council of Cricket, he said: "Jasprit Bumrah is a huge miss for any team and in any format as he's a force to reckon with… but a couple of key bowlers are in great form in Mohammed Siraj and Mohammad Shami who have bowled really well throughout the IPL. It's only a question of how much their bodies will be ready to play the rigours of five-day cricket. That is going to be the big question.”

"They have Shardul Thakur in the squad, who I'm pretty sure has a great chance of playing, while the fourth (seaming) option again will be between Umesh Yadav and Jaydev Unadkat. As we sit here again, there are a couple of injury issues, a little bit of cloud over their participation, so it's going to be interesting to see which way they go. But you do get the feeling they could go to the left-arm medium pacer because they would want a variety in their attack,” Karthik further added.

"It will be very interesting to see if India go down that route where they play both the spinners. The last time they played in England, they went for the fast-bowling all-rounder and just the one spinner, so they very much could go in with the same attack," the RCB wicketkeeper concluded.
