On Sunday, Dinesh Karthik apologized for making sexist remarks.
Prior to the second ODI between England and Sri Lanka, Karthik had made a sexist remark.
He says he got a lot of pushback from his wife and mother.
After the second ODI between Sri Lanka and England, Dinesh Karthik, the Sri Lankan player, apologized for the sexist comments he made on air.
Earlier in the second ODI between Sri Lanka and England, Dinesh Karthik, the Kolkata Knight Riders wicketkeeper-batsman, publicly apologized for his sexist comments. He compared cricket bats to “neighbor’s wife” on Thursday. “The inability to like bats goes hand in hand with being a batsman. The vast majority of batters seem unenthusiastic about their bats. Either they like someone else’s bat, or they hate it. A neighbor’s wife is like a bat, in that regard. They feel better all the time “It is well known that the former KKR captain said that.
Following his on-air comments, the India batsman came under fire on social media and during the third ODI between England and Sri Lanka, where Karthik commentated on Sky Sports, and he issued an apology.
“I would like to apologize for the issue that happened in the last game. I’m sorry, but it’s not what I had in mind. It was all wrong of me. I sincerely apologize to everyone. It is totally wrong to say, “said Karthik.
“I apologize for what happened. I had an awful time explaining that to my wife and my mother “He went on to say.
Additionally, Karthik provided commentary on the recently concluded WTCF tournament. Ex-captain Sunil Gavaskar, who was part of the English commentary team, was also the wicket-keeper batsman.
