ILT20: Dinesh Karthik to represent Sharjah Warriorz in season 4

One of the sharpest minds in the game of cricket, especially in the shorter formats, Karthik's legacy and excellence are well documented. An IPL champion with the Mumbai Indians in 2013, Karthik was also a member of the Indian team that won both the inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. In more recent years, Karthik was among the leadership group, as the batting coach, for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru franchise, who won their maiden IPL title in 2025. Co-incidentally, at RCB in IPL 2025, Karthik had worked closely with the big-hitting Tim David, who is one of the overseas players for the Sharjah Warriorz in Season 4 of the ILT20.
