Some of the popular ones are Harbhajan Singh &#8211; Geeta Basra, Yuvraj Singh &#8211; Deepika Padukone etc. The latest affair is Virat Kohli&#8217;s linkup with Anushka Sharma. Apparently there is news that Kohli has moved into Anushka&#8217;s apartment in Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nHowever, the luckiest cricketer, if you may call, who has the sexiest (in my opinion atleast!) WAG is Dinesh Karthik. Yes, he might have lost the wicket-keeper spot to Dhoni, however he has none other than the hot and sexy, star squash player, Dipika Pallikal, as his to-be wife. Dipika will be Dinesh&#8217;s 2nd wife. He divorced his earlier wife &#8211; Nikita in 2013 after 6 years of marriage. There were rumors of alleged linkup between fellow cricketer Murali Vijay and Nikita Karthik which lead to the split.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/kartik-pallikal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"kartik-pallikal engagement pic\" alt=\"kartik-pallikal engagement pic\" src=\"http:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/kartik-pallikal-300x233.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">kartik-pallikal engagement pic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After the split, Dinesh ended up training under the same fitness coach as Dipika Pallikal and it&#8217;s there that he discovered his lady love in the ace Indian squash player.\u00a0Both of them gelled well and somehow managed to succeed in keeping their affair out of the media&#8217;s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Dinesh Karthik, 28, and Deepika Pallikal, 22, got engaged at the Taj Grand Hotel in Chennai in Nov, 2013. \u00a0Here is wishing the couple some great times ahead&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>With Love,<\/p>\n<p>Ankit<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Dear Readers, Indian cricketers have historically maintained very quite private lives.
