Dipika Pallikal thanks hubby Dinesh Karthik for supporting her dreams

Dipika Pallikal with husband Dinesh Karthik

India's ace squash player Dipika Pallikal posted a sweet message for her cricketer husband Dinesh Karthik on their third wedding anniversary. She posted a throwback picture of the two on Instagram and wrote: "Happy three years to my boy. Where are those people who told me marriage might slow down my career? Three years ago I made the best decision of my life to marry this boy, he's not only supported me but also pushed me to become a better version of myself everyday.

Today, some 7300 miles apart from each other, I'm sitting at the Asian Games village, playing my 3rd Asian Games and thinking to myself that I wouldn't be here today without this boy by my side... Thank you @dk00019 for making me believe in my dreams and for always being there for me while you try and follow your dreams as well. Here's to infinity and beyond with you."

Dinesh Karthik, who is on tour with India for the five-match Test series against England, has been dropped for the ongoing third Test after dismal performance in the first two Tests at Edgbaston and Lord's.
