Cricketer Dinesh Karthik gets engaged to Squash ace Deepika Pallikal

Dinesh Karthik - Deepika Pallikal.

Though the wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik couldn't ensure a berth for himself in the South Africa bound team, yet, he is a happy man. After all, he's won the most important trophy of his life - he's got engaged to squash player Deepika Pallikal. After a bitter divorce from his first wife, Karthik had decided to focus only on cricket. And as luck should have it, he ended up training under the same fitness coach as Deepika Pallikal and it's there that he discovered his lady love in the ace Indian squash player.

Both of them gelled well and somehow managed to succeed in keeping their affair out of the media's eyes. Dinesh Karthik, 28, and Deepika Pallikal, 22, got engaged at the Taj Grand Hotel in Chennai last week.
