Indrajith is Tamil Naduβs second-leading run-scorer after N Jagadeesan, who has 775 runs with two centuries in ten innings. Indrajith played a tremendous knock in his teamβs final league game against Punjab, accumulating 187 runs to win the game for his side and take them to the knockout stage.
CricXtasy had an exclusive talk with Indrajith following his batting heroics against Punjab. The 29-year-old talked about a range of things, casting light on his game and everything around it.
The excitement of reaching the quarterfinals for the first time since 2016/17 was palpable on Indrajithβs face as he narrated his thought process and planning. In the interview, Indrajith also disclosed his relationship with a current Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) player.
While chatting about Dinesh Karthik, Baba Indrajith labelled him his βvery good friendβ and βbig brotherβ. Indrajith feels elated when Karthik posts something encouraging about him on social media.
βHe is a very good friend, to be honest. Obviously, I got to know him through cricket. When I made my debut, when you need the support of senior players, they made it very comfortable for me when I came into the setup. After that, we became very close as friends, and he has always been a big brother for me. It feels really nice and special when people like Dinesh Karthik support you when you have done well and when they post something on social media. It really means a lot to me.β

Indrajith added he learnt plenty of things from Dinesh Karthik. According to Indrajith, Karthik has been his mentor.
βI have learnt a lot, as I said. Right from my batting, he has been a mentor to me. Any important decisions in cricket – I will lean to him [and] I will discuss it with him. And with so much of experience, definitely his words will mean a lot to me.β
