"Tujhe khone nahi denge" - Irfan Pathan reacts as Shikhar Dhawan poses in picturesque location
Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan posted a heartwarming comment on veteran opening batter Shikhar Dhawan's recent Instagram post. Dhawan shared a couple of pictures on Wednesday, July 17, where he can be seen posing at a picturesque location.
Mentioning that he loved the view of the place, here's what Dhawan wrote in the caption:
"Kho gaye hum yahan (I got lost here)☁️🤗 Loved the vibes and view!"
The star cricketer's fans showered love on the social media post, flooding it with likes and comments. Irfan Pathan made a sweet comment, suggesting that he wouldn't let Dhawan be lost.
Irfan wrote:
"Bhai tujhe khone nahi denge (Brother we won't let you be lost)."
It is worth mentioning that Shikhar Dhawan seems to have fallen down the pecking order across formats, with the selectors preferring young openers like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal over him. The southpaw last donned the national jersey in December 2022, scoring three runs off eight balls in an ODI against Bangladesh.
