Dinesh Karthik has been named as the replacement of injured Wriddhiman Saha for the third Test ꦆagainst South Africa. The Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batsman has been recalled to the side after a layoff of 7 years.
He last played a Test for India in 2010; basically had to sit out because of MS Dhoni’s presence in the side.
Meanwhile, what is making news is the fact that Murali Vijay and Karthik would be playing together. Tweeps can’t keep calm because of the little love triangle.
Apparently, Vijay was the reason behind the failure of Karthik’s marriage to his first wife Nikita.
Nikita is now married to Murali w🐠hile Karthik is well sett🍒led with ace squash player Dipika Pallikal.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Dinesh Karthik’s Test recall:

I can't wait to see Vijay and Dinesh Karthik batting together in the 3rd test. What a delight that would be for Vijay's wife who is also Karthik's ex-wife.
