He (Abhishek Nayar) has been the most important factor in the last two and half years in my career. He has helped me prepare for games,” Dinesh Karthik told NDTV.

Also, he made me think in terms of strategy. He also knows what is the right way to work hard. He has been the river, and I have been the boat,” said the man after scoring an 8-ball 29.
