Fans react to Murali Vijay retirement news

Cricket fans from all across the globe have started to pour in well wishes for the cricketer who expressed interest in exploring new opportunities following his retirement. While some fans feel sad seeing one of India’s prolific opener hang up the boots, some fans have not shied away from taking a dig at Murli Vijay by roping in Dinesh Karthik into the picture.

For context, Murali Vijay is infamous for marrying former friend and current India wicket-keeper batsman Karthik’s wife. The duo was rumoured to have  fallen in love with each other when they met in IPL 2012. It also let to quite a few awkward moments among the trio as Karthik and Vijay both played for the Tamil Nadu state team.

Murli Vijay retires from all forms of cricket. He has been one of the flag-beaters lf CSK and Indian Test team for quite sometime. Was an elegant batter to watch. Wish you all the best for your 2nd innings
