Dipika Pallikal, the spouse of Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik, is representing India in squash at the ongoing Asian Games 2023. In a remarkable feat, she and her partner Harinderpal Singh achieved a significant milestone by clinching a gold medal in the mixed doubles category. Their victory in the finals against Malaysia, with a score of 2-0, cemented their names in the annals of history.

Karthik shared a heartwarming video of his wife’s triumphant moments of winning the highly prestigious gold medal. He expressed his gratitude to Washington Sundar for providing him with the clip, as the latter was present at the match arena to show support for Dipika.

“Well done @DipikaPallikal and harinder Thanks @Sundarwashi5 for the video #GOLD #AsianGames2023 #Squash”, the Chennai-born cricketer wrote.

Earlier in the day, Karthik sent out special wishes to Sundar on his birthday in a truly distinctive manner that caught the attention of cricket enthusiasts. The 24-year-old is currently representing the Indian men’s cricket team at the Asian Games Men’s T20I 2023 in Hangzhou, China.

During Tuesday’s quarterfinal match against Nepal, the Men in Blue emerged victorious by a margin of 23 runs, securing their spot in the semifinals. In the match, Sundar had a relatively quiet performance as he didn’t have an opportunity to bat and bowled just one over, conceding 11 runs.

Karthik’s creative wish

Karthik expressed his birthday wishes to Sundar in a captivating manner on Twitter. The 38-year-old employed a creative approach by attaching an image of Washington, D.C. map along with Google CEO’s Sundar Pichai’s picture to add an element of intrigue to his post.
