Cricketers go on tours and look to have a good public life, but we often don’t know about their bumpy personal life. Here we will take a look at three cricketers who got cheated on by their wives.
Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik was earlier married to childhood friend Nikita Vanjara. Their parents were good friends who decided to marry their kids once they reached marriageable age. However, that didn’t work out. Murali Vijay, a teammate to Karthik in the Tamilnadu squad, shattered the marriage between his former teammate Dinesh Karthik and his wife.
In 2012, Karthik got to know about Murali’s relationship with his ex-wife during a Vijay Hazare Trophy match. Dinesh behaved like a real gentleman and silently split up with his wife. His wife’s image was essential for him, and he did not want to create any buzz about the situation.
Karthik immediately handed her better half a divorce after knowing about the affair. During that time, Nikita was pregnant with a boy.
In late 2012, India’s opening test cricketer Murali Vijay married Nikita Vanjara, and the pair currently has a three-year-old kid. In August 2015, Dinesh Karthik, on the other hand, married a national level squash player, Dipika Pallikal.
Both Players are happily married and moved on.
