While Tamil Nadu’s batting has always been the team’s strength, we have seen more bowlers coming through in recent years. Arun Karthik believes that the Tamil Nadu pacers have only gotten better.
Arun Karthik believes that the way cricket is played has changed
The former Royal Challengers Bangalore man also spoke about how differently the game is played now, with batsmen having a wider array of shots and the focus on fitness opening up more opportunities for pacers.
Arun Karthik believes that the influence of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is there for all to see in the modern domestic game. With the present-day under-19 cricketers having watched the IPL since they were a young age, their incredible range of shots are testament to the role of the league in a player’s development today.

Speaking about his foray into Sri Lankan domestic cricket, Arun Karthik had high praise for the standards of the game in the island nation. He believes that cricket in Sri Lanka is highly competitive and playing some of the best bowlers the country had to offer at the time helped him build up confidence early in his career.
On a personal level, the former Kerala cricketer aims to win the Ranji Trophy, in a bid to complete his domestic trophy collection. Arun Karthik also hopes to make a comeback to the IPL, and given his performances in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), that may not necessarily be a distant dream.
