Shikhar Dhawan was seen loosening up a bit before the start of the Indian Premier League on April 9, 2021. He was seen dancing to a Punjabi song in a video that he uploaded on Instagram. Dhawan is dancing with Yuzvendra Chahal’s wife and social media influencer Dhanashree.
Dhawan posted the video with caption: “Hitting the dance floor with the super talented and fun @dhanashree9 😊🕺💃”
It looked like a performance by a professional dancer and not by a cricketer. Cricketer Harbhajan Singh commented on the post "khich k". ‘Gabbar’ as he is fondly called by his teammates performing Bhangra excited a lot of social media fans. Some fans also got curious about Yuzvendra Chahal. Here are some of the hilarious comments made by fans on Shikhar Dhawan’s Instagram post:
Shikhar Dhawan is all set to play for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2021. He had a good ODI series against India where he got out in the nineties. He would like to perform well for his side and change the fortunes of the DC side this year.
Delhi Capitals have also appointed Rishabh Pant as the captain of their side due to the injury to Shreyas Iyer. Iyer has been ruled out of the entire IPL 2021 and has a surgery on 8 April 2021.
Nonetheless, this dance video by Shikhar Dhawan has all the qualities of going viral on the internet. Recently, Dhawan was also seen playing Holi with his mother.
Dhawan and Delhi Capitals have their first game on 10 April against Chennai Super Kings.
