Dhawan Tries His Hand At Flute To Hone Music Skills Amid COVID-19 Lockdown

"Playing a musical instrument, the vibrations you can feel inside your body. Music gives you peace and everybody should try to learn how to play a musical instrument now especially because we have so much time to spend at home due to the lockdown," Dhawan said

The nationwide lockdown across the country in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to stay indoors and maintain social distancing to contain the spread of the virus. Amid the lockdown, citizens including sportsmen are leaving no stone unturned to get back to their hobbies and rekindle their interest in what they love the most doing with their extended family. India's seasoned ODI opener Shikhar Dhawan on Tuesday revealed he is trying his hand at playing a flute and honing his overall musical skills. "Playing a musical instrument, the vibrations you can feel inside your body. Music gives you peace and everybody should try to learn how to play a musical instrument now especially because we have so much time to spend at home due to the lockdown," Dhawan said while chatting with India middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer on Instagram Live. The dashing southpaw also played the flute on Iyer's request. Dhawan picked Dale Steyn as the most difficult bowler he has faced along with off-spinners on turning wickets. Asked to pick his most special knock, Dhawan chose the match-winning hundred against Australia in the 2019 World Cup. "Mardo walli feeling aayi (it was a big daddy innings)," Dhawan said. Dhawan had slammed 117 off 109 balls against the defending champions at The Oval on June 10 as India won by 36 runs. That turned out to be the final tie he played as he was ruled out with a thumb fracture for the remainder of he competition. India crashed out in the semi-finals, losing to New Zealand.
