According to Karthik,

"I don't believe in aliens. Actually, I don't have much knowledge in that domain. But I'll tell you who's interested in aliens and who's read up about it, knows a bit about it. You'll be surprised, yes, Virat Kohli.

“I remember him showing me a YouTube video about aliens spotted in America or some place in Nevada. I forgot the name exactly. It's not something that's top of my list in terms of memory, but I know he was very interested in that subject.”

Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik have built a robust relationship over the course of several years. Not only were they colleagues on the Indian national team, but they also shared the dressing room with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Karthik, who declared his retirement subsequent to the 2024 IPL season, will continue to be engaged with RCB. At the age of 39, he has assumed a fresh position as the batting coach and mentor for the franchise.
