India’s wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik turned 33 today and it seems everyone on social media is wishing the stylish player on his birthday. However, among all these wishes, one from his wife Dipika Pallikal stands out.
Dipika took to the photo-sharing application, Instagram, and shared a special story about husband Dinesh Karthik.
Here is the post:

Karthik was given the added responsibility to lead the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) squad in the recently concluded 11th season of Indian Premier League (IPL) and he led his team from the front guiding them to the second qualifier of the tournament.
Before IPL, Karthik created a buzz in the Nidahas Trophy finals by guiding India to victory on the last ball of the game.
Dinesh Karthik’s wife Dipika Pallikal is an ace squash player. Dipika recently won the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games 2018, held in Gold Coast, Australia.
Talking about his wife before she departed for Australia to participate in the Commonwealth Games, Karthik had said, “My wife never saw my match. She gets nervous. Her sisters watched it. Cricket is not her favourite sport. She watches squash when it comes on TV. Cricket does not interest her much.”
