Coming back to Dinesh and Dipika, the 33-year-old cricketer has confessed that his wife, Dipika doesn’t like cricket. Once he said, “She comes for the odd IPL match. But she does not enjoy cricket so we don't have many conversations about it”.
In another interview, he was quoted as saying, “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”.
However, when Dinesh Karthik was recently all over the news for his stunning performance in the Nidhas Trophy series, his wife felt proud and elated seeing her hubby’s performance. Being a sportsperson herself, she understands the pressure on the fields. She took to her Instagram and shared the following pictures:

She further continued, "In fact, the first time we met was at a marathon some five years ago. After that, we met at the gym and, if I remember, I left for practice without even saying bye to him. Slowly we got to know each other”.
Undeniably, Dinesh Karthik and Dipika Pallikal make one of the most adorable sports couples. May Dinesh’s 33rd year be a blast!
