Alongside him, Parth Chaudhary\u2019s explosive 61 off just 27 balls gave Gwalior Cheetahs early momentum in the chase and further strengthened his sensational run in the MPL 2026, where he currently leads the scoring charts with 420 runs in just five innings at a staggering strike rate of 196.26.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking after the game, Kartik highlighted his clear mindset as he stepped into the attack at a crucial stage of the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMy approach was to dominate and fulfil the role given to me by my coach and captain for the team. When I came on to bowl, Akshat and Arham had already built a strong partnership. I wasn\u2019t thinking about the scoreboard or how the pitch was playing \u2014 my goal was simply to break their partnership and shift the momentum for my team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The young pacer admitted that dismissing Akshat Raghuvanshi was the biggest moment of his spell. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAkshat Raghuvanshi\u2019s wicket gave me the most satisfaction because everyone knows what he can do for his team. If he stays at the crease, he can create a massive impact on the game,\u201d Kartik added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kartik also credited the support staff and leadership group of the JKC Sports-owned Gwalior Cheetahs for helping him execute his plans effectively in difficult conditions. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Despite the result not going in favour of Gwalior Cheetahs, Kartik remains confident heading into the remainder of the tournament. \u201cOf course, the result didn\u2019t go our way as a team, but I can definitely take confidence from my spell going into the upcoming matches of this tournament,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
