Is Dinesh Karthik the father of Murali Vijay's son?

Is dinesh karthik the father of Murali Vijay's son? While Dinesh’s wife was expecting when he divorced her, the child is in fact Murali’s. As of now, Murali’s wife has 3 kids, when the 3rd one was born an article from “The Indian Express” said this: “Vijay has two more children – a son and a daughter – with Nikita, who he married in 2012” with   Nikita. That solves the mystery. Finding your own teammate having an outside romance with your wife must have been pretty difficult to bear. Happy that Dinesh moved on and is happy with his current wife Dipika Pallikal. Source:   Murali Vijay, wife Nikita welcome third child, see pic

Who has been the most overrated cricketers of all time?

Before I answer this. A few words about the other answers. Dhoni has an average of 50+ in ODIs and the highest test match batting average among all ASIAN wicketkeepers. Shahid Afridi has as many ODI Man of the match awards as Ricky Ponting. Don Bradman did play in a different time but it isn’t his fault that he played in a different era. And despite all the advantages he had, he also had to contend with uncovered pitches and smaller bats. The guy who averaged second in that era was Jack Hobbs at 56. If he was so overrated then why didn’t others average 99? Anyway the point is - These three and a few others like Boycott maybe a bit overhyped by some of their fans but they aren’t overrated. Now for the actual answer - This guy Does he look familiar? Come on you have seen him as one of the extras on the field during Kohli’s marauding knocks against Sri Lanka. Can’t name him can you? This is Chamara Kapugedara, former limited overs Vice captain of Sri Lan...
