As per reported in Times Now, Dinesh Karthik revealed that many cricketers' wives come to see IPL matches but Dipika isn't fond of the sport, she rarely visits stadiums to see him play. "She comes for the odd IPL match. But she does not enjoy cricket so we don't have many conversations about it".
"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," Karthik had said before his wife departed for Australia to participate in the Commonwealth Games.
Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, who finished the season on the third position under the leadership of Karthik, tweeted: "Happy Birthday Skipper @DineshKarthik Wish you lots of success and happiness in the year ahead."
