"What we call happiness" - Dinesh Karthik shares adorable picture with his twins ahead of West Indies T20Is

Team India's wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik is all set to feature in the upcoming five-match T20I series against West Indies. Prior to departing for the Caribbean tour, the right-hander enjoyed some family time at home.

Taking to his Instagram account, Karthik shared a couple of adorable pictures with his twin boys, Kabir and Zian. He wrote that a short break with his family amid a hectic cricketing schedule is what defines happiness for him.

He posted:

"These little times you get at home with family is what we call happiness ☺️ Now back to work 🇮🇳."

Karthik and his wife Dipika Pallikal were blessed with two baby boys in October last year. He had announced the birth of his new-born twins through a social media post.

The veteran wicketkeeper was drafted back to India's T20I side after a successful stint with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL 2022).

He has been given the crucial role of a finisher by the team management in the shortest format.
