He led the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the playoffs in 2018, and in 2019, his team finished fifth in the points table. However, ahead of the 2022 edition of the league, Karthik was released by KKR and made available for the IPL Mega Auction. He was eventually bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for INR 5.5 crore.Karthik, with his vast IPL experience, has been part of every edition of the league since its inception in 2008. This will be his second stint with RCB, the first being in the 2015 season when he was acquired for a significant sum of Rs 10.5 crore. Throughout his IPL career, Karthik has represented six different teams. He began with the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in 2008, followed by a stint with the Kings XI Punjab in 2011. He then spent two seasons with the Mumbai Indians before returning to Delhi in 2014. RCB secured his services in 2015, and he played for the Gujarat Lions in 2016 and 2017 before spending four seasons with KKR.Karthik's IPL career tally of 4046 runs at a strike rate of 129.72, combined with his proficiency behind the stumps, highlights the immense value he brings to the team. His ability as a batsman and his agility as a wicket-keeper make him a valuable asset for any team.
