The Indian wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik has turned 33 on Friday and some warm wishes poured in for him. Karthik’s wife and ace Indian squash player Dipika Pallikal Karthik shared some love-soaked pictures of her husband on Instagram. While cricket might not be interesting enough for Dipika, she does know how to make her husband feel special on such a day through social media platforms.
Here are the pictures that Dipika shared as Instagram stories on Karthik’s birthday:
While many cricketers’ wives come to see IPL matches, Karthik had acknowledged that Dipika isn’t fond of the sport, she rarely visits stadiums to see him play. He revealed, “She comes for the odd IPL match. But she does not enjoy cricket so we don’t have many conversations about it.”

He further added, “My wife never saw my match. She gets nervous. Her sisters watched it. Cricket is not her favorite sport. She watches squash when it comes on TV. Cricket does not interest her much.”
Here are some of the wishes for Dinesh on his special day:
The International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a tweet: “Happy 33rd birthday to Indian keeper-batsman @DineshKarthik! What has been his finest performance on the international stage for India?
