“Southpaw United” - Abhishek Sharma shares a picture with Indian icons Yuvraj Singh and Shikhar Dhawan
Team India opener Abhishek Sharma recently posted a picture with cricketing icons Yuvraj Singh and Shikhar Dhawan. The 23-year-old shares a close relationship with Yuvraj, who has helped the youngster improve his game.
The two Punjab cricketers recently met Shikhar Dhawan, who has been out of action for some time. The 38-year-old last played for Men in Blue in an ODI game against Bangladesh in December 2022.
Moreover, he was last seen in action during the 2024 IPL. However, his tournament was cut short as he sustained a shoulder injury in the first half and remained on the bench for the remainder of the season.
As the three left-handed batters met, the SunRisers Hyderabad opener shared a picture on Instagram, captioning it:
“Southpaw United🥊🏏.”
Earlier, Shikhar Dhawan and Yuvraj Singh also shared an Instagram reel on a viral trend. Dhawan is known for his social media presence. He often posts reels and is up-to-date with the latest trends on the internet, and this time he was joined by the 2011 ODI World Cup’s Player of the Tournament, Yuvraj Singh.
Here’s the reel shared by Shikhar:
Yuvraj was recently seen playing in the World Championship of Legends. He captained the India Legends and guided them to victory as they defeated the Pakistan Champions in the final by five wickets.
