Indian wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik has been included in the Test squad after a long gap of 7 years as the regular gloveman Wriddhiman Saha has been ruled out of the Test series due to a hamstring injury. Karthik will reach the rainbow nation ahead of the third test between India and South Africa.
Dinesh and Murali Vijay share a very bitter rapport and perhaps not many would know the reason. Murali Vijay’s wife, Nikita Vijay is actually the ex-wife of married Dinesh Karthik as the couple was divorced in the year 2012.
Earlier, Murali and Dinesh were pretty good friends as they played together for the Ranji team of Tamil Nadu. But Nikita fell in love with the former and decided to part ways with Karthik.

In the same year, Murali Vijay and Nikita got hotched and since then the rapport between the two elegant batsmen went sour. Now, in the current scenario, Dinesh Karthik and Murali Vijay would be sharing the dressing room for the first time since the rift and Twitter has all sorts of reactions to this very awkward moment the two would be facing while sharing the same dressing room with each other.
The situation would get even more awkward for them if they end up sahring the batting crease together. Indian Twitterati erupted with the funniest reactions ever as Vijay and Karthik will be sharing the slip cordon, dressing room and maybe also the batting crease with each other.

Some of the tweets are also regarding the fight between the wicketkeeping position between Parthiv Patel and Dinesh Karthik as it has been going on even before MS Dhoni made his international debut
These reactions on Twitter are as funny as it can get and we cannot help laughing on these awkward moments that the two would be sharing between them. Here are some of the Twitter reactions which took a funny dig at Vijay, Karthik, and Parthiv:
If Karthik is keeping and Vijay is at first slip, he will definitely go for the keeper's catch because he has that habit of catching Karthik's "things".

Parthiv Patel v Dinesh Karthik, longest running saga in Indian Cricket. They were competing to be India's No.1 Test keeper two years before Dhoni debuted and they're still at it three years after Dhoni retired #SAvIND #dkvspp
