Karthik, who played for RCB in IPL 2024, retired after the Eliminator against Rajasthan Royals (RR) which Bengaluru lost by four wickets and exited the tournament.

“Having given it plenty of thought for some time now, I have decided to move on from playing representative cricket. I officially announce my retirement and put my playing days behind me as I square up for the new challenges that lie ahead,” Karthik wrote.

“I’d like to thank all my coaches, captains, selectors, teammates and members of the support staff who have made this long journey enjoyable. Among millions that play the sport in our country, I consider myself one of the luckiest to have had the chance to represent my country,” he added.
