Veteran Indian cricketer, Shikhar Dhawan has played many match-winning knocks in his career. He has also won many laurels for his side on the big stage. He will be leading the India side in the one-day international series against New Zealand starting on Friday, November 25, 2022.
Shikhar Dhawan doesn’t leave a chance to impress his fans, whether on the field or on social media. Dhawan, recently, put an Instagram reel of him meeting his son Zoravar after a long period. The song ‘Tu Jo Mila’ in the background perfectly captures the flow of emotion during the father-son duo’s reunion.
Dhawan’s reel has gone viral on social media, garnering over 1.6 million views and counting. Just after the video was posted on social media, it received a lot of interaction from the fans. Many of them dropped heart emojis and expressed their love for the talented batter.

Shikhar Dhawan to lead Punjab franchise in Indian T20 League 2023
Former Indian all-rounder, Irfan Pathan also reacted to Shikhar Dhawan’s post and dropped a heart emoji in the comment box. Zoravar is the only son from Shikhar Dhawan and Ayesha Mukherjee’s marriage. They got divorced in September 2021 after the completion of their eight years of marriage. Zoravar stays in Australia with his mother but Dhawan manages to spend some quality time with his son every now and then.
The 36-year-old has recently been given the job to lead the Punjab side for the 2023 edition of the Indian T20 League. Mayank Aggarwal had an average season with the bat and was not able to give the desired results that the Punjab franchise wanted from him last season. Recently, he was released by the side ahead of the mini auction, which is scheduled to take place in Kochi in December.
Therefore, the franchise owners have given leadership roles to Dhawan. The experience of his recent captaincy assignments for the Indian team in the 50-over will surely help him. The veteran cricketer led Team India in the recent ODI series against South Africa. A young team India, led by Dhawan, registered a 2-1 victory over the Proteas.
