Dipika Pallikal

Twelve years of non-stop travel, spending time away from family and training abroad have made India's squash star Dipika Pallikal Karthik evolve as a person. It is only last year that she roped in Egyptian coach Ashraf el Karagui who is based in Chennai and has now stopped traveling abroad for training. Dipika, who has married cricketer Dinesh Karthik recently, Dipika juggles a lot of things in her life to strike the right balance between her sporting career and personal life. In an interview, she opens up on her future goals in the sport, her favourite country, how she unwinds and even what she likes to binge on while competing abroad.
