Life is Time comes to everyone, just keep patience:
Year 2004. A young wicketkeeper named Dinesh Kartik made his debut for the Indian cricket team. His cricket career was taking off, and in 2007, he married his childhood friend Nikita Vanjara.
Dinesh and Nikita were very happy in their married life. Dinesh was also captaining the Tamil Nadu team in the Ranji Trophy. His close friend from the Tamil Nadu team, who later became part of the Indian team, was Murali Vijay.
One day, Nikita met Murali Vijay, Dinesh Kartik's teammate. Nikita was attracted to Murali Vijay. Innocent Dinesh Kartik didn't realize this. Nikita and Murali's closeness grew, and soon they started an affair. They began meeting openly. Besides Dinesh Kartik, the entire Tamil Nadu team knew that Murali Vijay was having an affair with Dinesh's wife, Nikita.
Then came the year 2012. Nikita became pregnant. But she shocked everyone by declaring that the child was Murali Vijay's. Dinesh Kartik was shattered. He divorced Nikita. The very next day of the divorce, Nikita married Murali Vijay. And just 3 months later, she gave birth to their child.
Dinesh Kartik fell into depression. He started having mental health issues. He couldn't easily forget the betrayal of his wife and friend Murali. He turned to alcohol, drinking from morning till night. He became like a recluse. He was ousted from the Indian team. He also failed in the Ranji Trophy.
He was stripped of the captaincy of the Tamil Nadu team. And Murali Vijay was made the new captain. The phase of failure didn't stop there; he wasn't even played in the IPL. He stopped going to the gym. In the end, Dinesh became so hopeless that he started talking about suicide.
Then one day, his trainer from the gym came to his house. He found Dinesh Kartik in a bad condition. He took Dinesh straight to the gym. Dinesh refused, but his trainer didn't listen to him.
In that same gym, the Indian squash champion Dipika Pallikal used to come. When she saw Dinesh Kartik's condition, she also started counselling him along with the trainer.
The hard work of the trainer and Dipika started to show results. Dinesh Kartik was on the path of improvement. Meanwhile, Murali Vijay's game was continuously declining. On the other hand, Murali Vijay was ousted from the Indian team. Seeing his poor form later, even Chennai Super Kings showed him the way out of the IPL.
On the other hand, with the support of Dipika Pallikal, Dinesh Kartik started practising vigorously on the net. It started to have an effect, and Dinesh Kartik started scoring big in domestic cricket. Soon, he was also selected in the IPL and became the captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders. He had become very close to Dipika Pallikal. He married Dipika.
According to his age, Dinesh had become old in cricket. Rishabh Pant had already arrived in the Indian cricket team. Kartik realized that his career was almost over. He decided to retire from cricket. On the other hand, his wife Dipika Pallikal became pregnant and gave birth to twins. Dipika's squash career also came to a halt.
Dipika and Dinesh Kartik wanted a bungalow in the posh area of Chennai, Poies Garden. In 2021, an offer came to buy a mansion in the same area of Chennai. Dinesh decided to buy it. Everyone was surprised that when both Dipika and Dinesh had almost retired from the world of sports, how would they fulfil such an expensive deal?
Then Dinesh got information that Mahendra Singh Dhoni from Chennai Super Kings wanted to see him back in the team as a wicketkeeper. The auction for the 2022 IPL began. But this time, instead of Chennai, Royal Challengers Bangalore bought him. Dinesh's wife Dipika also started playing, and just 6 months after the birth of their twins, she won the title of women's doubles with Joshna Chinappa at the World Championship in Glasgow.
The success story of Dinesh Kartik should be known to everyone. Falling and rising again is what Kartik's life tells us. Always keep patience. Keep fighting against the odds. You will definitely reach your destination.
Regards,
Dinesh Kartik, Dipika Pallikal, CSK, Virat Kohli
