According to Karthik, the IPL has played a pivotal role in revolutionizing Indian cricket by fostering a competitive mindset among players. He emphasized that the league’s high-pressure environment and exposure to world-class talent have significantly contributed to the development of players’ mental toughness and confidence. “The IPL has brought out a winning mentality in all our players,” he stated in a recent press release, highlighting how the tournament has become an inseparable part of Indian cricket.

Karthik also pointed out how the financial investments made by IPL franchises have led to improved infrastructure, which in turn enhances the quality of cricket.
