Former India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik has joined his former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) teammate AB de Villiers as the brand ambassador of the SA20 League. Karthik recently said goodbye to his international career and had already called it off from the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2023.

The announcement was made on X by SA20’s official handle with Karthik being featured in the video talking about this new journey as a brand ambassador of one of the elite T20 Leagues around the world. Karthik believes that SA20 pulls a lot of crowd.

Watch the video here:

β€œI am extremely excited, I have to say. It's one of the best domestic franchise tournaments going around the world. Being appointed as its brand ambassador; I couldn't be prouder. I am looking forward to being a part of the tournament. It's a tournament which pulls a lot of crowd and families as well which come to watch it," Karthik said in the video.

Arguably one of the best leagues: Dinesh Karthik

Two editions of SA20 have been played so far and in both editions, Aiden Markram’s Sunrisers Eastern Cape were crowned as the champions. The next will be played in 2024/25 and it’d be interesting to see if we’ll get to see a new champion or if the Eastern Cape will make a hattrick of championships. Karthik also admitted that SA20 is one of the best leagues going around.

"First thing, the quality of the competition; the kind of players we find domestically, decides the strength of the competition. And it's been arguably one of the best going around. The way South African cricket has benefitted from it is there for everybody to see," he added.
