Karthik unhappy with pitch curator

After losing the match against Delhi Capitals on 11 April, Dinesh Karthik held a press conference. During this time, he looked unhappy with the pitch curator of M Chinnaswamy Stadium. He said, "In the first two matches, we had demanded a good pitch here. But we got the opposite pitch. It was very difficult to bat here. So we tried to do well in what we got. But we will talk to them (pitch curators) about it.

According to Karthik, the kind of T20 cricket is, the more runs will be scored, the better for broadcaster and fans.

He says that all people like to see the boundary. He also talked about the batting of his team. In the last over against Delhi, the Bengaluru batsmen had given their knees in front of Delhi bowlers only in the face of big shots and could only give a target of 164 runs.
