Indian cricket team' senior opener Shikhar Dhawan, who is popularly known as the "Gabbar", returned to Delhi Capitals in 2019 after a trade-off with Sunrisers Hyderabad. The fiery opener's ability to start the innings in an aggressive fashion, even against some of the best wicket-taking bowlers in the world, makes him an important cog in DC's wheel.

Meanwhile, the DC star opener on Monday took to social media to post a video in which he can be seen teaching a few "Punjabi steps" to his teammates -- Ravichandran Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane, who clearly struggled to replicate Punjabi dance moves with same ease. "Teaching my two teammates a few Punjabi steps but it's going to take a while to get them into rhythm. Lovely to see them dancing since they are usually shy. Always have fun and keep the kid inside of you alive," Dhawan's Instagram post read.
