Murali Vijay-Dinesh Karthik in playing XI? Twitterati say 'awkward' moment for Team India

Team India is already trailing 0-1 in the Test series against South Africa as they lost the first Test at Centurion by 72 runs

Dinesh Karthik has just been announced as injured Wriddhiman Saha’s replacement for the 3rd Test against South Africa. Karthik has been recalled to the side after a layoff of 7 years. The Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batsman had last played a Test for India in 2010. He basically had to sit out because of MS Dhoni’s presence in the side.

Meanwhile, what is making news is the fact that Murali Vijay and Dinesh Karthik would be playing together. Tweeps can’t keep calm because of the little love triangle. Apparently, Murali Vijay was the reason behind the failure of Dinesh Karthik’s marriage to his first wife Nikita Karthik. Nikita is now married to Murali while Dinesh Karthik is settled with ace squash player Dipika Pallikal.
