Dinesh Karthik has been in the spotlight since the WTC final for his refresh commentating skills and classy t-shirts.

During England’s run-chase, Karthik, who was in the commentary box, made a comment on batsmen and their love-hate relationship with their bats.

Meanwhile, in the game, England registered a comfortable win with eight wickets in hand. Sam Curran’s five-wicket haul restricted the visitors to 241/9. Dhananjaya de Silva was the top scorer for Sri Lanka with a run-a-ball 91.
