The 3 that Karthik refers to is their pet dog.
Karthik, who recently played for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, also donned the commentator’s hat during the India versus England Test series August-September.
One of India’s top female squash players, Pallikal is the first from the country to be ranked in the world’s top 10. The two got married in August 2015.
