in Bengaluru's phenomenal 2025 campaign as they made it to the final by winning Qualifier 1 against PBKS. Speaking on the Sky Sports podcast, Hussain, who works alongside Karthik in the commentary box, said that the former wicketkeeper will be unbearable if RCB win the title.

Michael Atherton also chimed in and said that Karthik will act like John Terry after the 2012 Champions League final and will be at the front of the trophy celebrations.

"RCB have got through to the finals. If they win that, DK is going to be unbearable. One season as coach/mentor and he's won it," Hussain said in jest on the Sky Sports Podcast in a humorous tone.

He'll be like John Terry, at the front of the RCB trophy presentation holding it there with Virat Kohli," Michael Atherton added.

What Karthik said about being part of RCB

Karthik said that it is a very special feeling to be part of RCB. The RCB batting mentor said that winning the first IPL title for the franchise was one of the main reasons why he decided to join the side.

"Being part of RCB is a very special feeling. Purely because of the brand of cricket that we play, but also the fans that we have. And most importantly, it's a journey that's been filled with lots of highs and lows. But the trophy hadn't reached the shores of Bangalore yet. If I could be part of that journey, why not? That was a big question in my mind.

RCB will face the winner of the Qualifier 2 between PBKS and MI in Ahmedabad on June 3.
