Watch: Shikhar Dhawan Gives Amazing Response To A Fan Holding A Sign Asking For His Shirt

India opener Shikhar Dhawan was seen giving a hilarious and amazing response to a fan’s request for his shirt during the third ODI against Zimbabwe in Harare on August 22, 2022. India won a close contest by 13 runs and pocketed the series 3-0.

KL Rahul, the Indian captain had won the toss for the third straight time and this time chose to bat first. India had made a couple of changes, with Deepak Chahar and Avesh Khan coming in for Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.

India batted well with Shikhar Dhawan (40) and captain Rahul (30) adding 63 runs for the first wicket. Then Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan (50) added valuable 140 runs for the third wicket, after which Gill changed gears and went onto score his maiden ODI century off just 82 balls. He was dismissed in the last over for 130 runs in 97 balls with 15 fours and 1 six.

During India’s innings, Shikhar Dhawan was seen sitting in the balcony of the Indian dressing room. The camera person caught a fan holding a sign which read: ‘Shikhar, can I have your shirt?”

This sign was also noticed by Dhawan who in jest proceeded to remove his practice jersey halfway through before smiling and putting it back on. Dhawan was also seen wearing the no. 54 jersey when he came out to bat with the name of the original player taped to keep it hidden.
