Karthik’s Chennai Residence:

Dinesh Karthik and his wife Dipika Pallikal Karthik affectionately call their Chennai home ‘The Karthik’s’ and describe it as a welcoming, warm and practical space, located right next to superstar Rajinikanth’s residence.

The home has a happy vibe with a well-lit lounge and living room with a lot of natural light. The house features a massive outdoor garden that the couple makes full use of with their kids and pet dogs. A fusion of both modern and traditional design, Karthik’s house is a visual delight both from outside and inside.

High-Stakes Match Against CSK:

The upcoming match holds immense significance, not only for the tournament standings but also for the nostalgia and legacy attached to it. With MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli—two of Indian cricket’s biggest icons—facing off, fans are eagerly awaiting what promises to be a thrilling contest. 

RCB, who have shown flashes of brilliance this season, will be aiming to overcome CSK in their fortress at Chepauk, where Dhoni’s men have historically been dominant. Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik’s leadership off the field, ensuring the team remains focused yet stress-free, might just give RCB the edge they need to put up a strong fight.
