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

What is the difference between Dhoni's captaincy and Kohli's captaincy?

"Not everyone is Pujara here" "It's not easy to survive man" "Come on Pat, hit some sixes" "Come on Pat - you’re not putting the bad ball away" “We have got a special guest here.

Here is a description of all double ton from men and which one is the best. I have written this before as well but i consider the first ODI double hundred by Sachin against South Africa to be the best one for multiple reasons. Since 70s when ODI started, no one scored a double hundred for almost 39 years, this was a mental barrier, Sachin broke that and was able to score 200* , once this was done, others knew that this could be done so essentially this double century helped others from mental aspect standpoint, batsmen started believing that its possible to score a double hundred in ODIs, since then we have 6 more double hundreds in ODIs and some credit must go to Sachin for starting this journey Sachin scored double ton against the attack of Steyn and Kallis which is not ordinary by any nature, he scored his runs ag...
