7 cricketers who married other cricketers' daughter
Spending a huge amount of time together during tours, tournaments, and training extends cricketers; relations into personal lives. In many cases, these connections have turned into lifelong relations
2. Dinesh Karthik
Former Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik is the son-in-law of former India women’s cricketer Susan Itticheria. He married Indian squash star Dipika Pallikal in 2015, making Susan Itticheria and Karthik the first mother-in-law and son-in-law duo to have both played international cricket. The couple has twin sons named Kabir and Zian, born on October 18, 2021.
Susan Itticheria was a medium-pace bowler and played in India’s inaugural Women’s Test in 1976 against the West Indies. Her international career spanned seven Tests and two ODIs, including a three-wicket haul in an unofficial Test against New Zealand and a Rani Jhansi Trophy spell where she dismantled North Zone with 4 for 3. Karthik, on the other hand, debuted for India in 2004 and had a mixed international career across formats. He played 103 international matches and made a memorable comeback in 2018 as a finisher. Karthik has turned into a cricket commentator and was also part of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru's winning campaign as a batting coach and mentor.
