In a video that's going viral on social media, fans can be seen chanting 'DK...DK' in front of Murali Vijay during one of the TNPL matches.

Dinesh Karthik and Murali Vijay are two of the stalwarts of the Indian team, and will both go down in history as legends. While Vijay was a consistent feature in the Test team for many years, Karthik recently made his comeback to the Indian team and continues to write a new chapter for himself. 

Vijay also grabbed the headlines of late, having scored a sensational century in the ongoing edition of Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2022, while playing for his team Ruby Tricky Warriors. 

However, during one of the recent TNPL matches, fans made it a little uncomfortable for Vijay while he was fielding as they started to chant Dinesh Karthik's name. The duo have a bit of history, as Karthik's first wife Nikita Vanjara reportedly had an affair with Murali Vijay.
