The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Virat Kohli took to social media to extend birthday wishes to Shikhar Dhawan, who turned 37 on Monday. Dhawan is currently part of the Indian ODI team touring Bangladesh. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the country’s governing body for cricket, took to Twitter to wish Dhawan. “267 International Matches, 10856 International Runs 2013 ICC Champions Trophy winner. Here’s wishing @SDhawan25 a very happy birthday!” BCCI tweeted.
Former India skipper and Dhawan’s teammate, Virat Kohli, also took to Instagram to wish the Indian opener.

Team India needed another heady opener to take the game to the opposition after Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag retired. Shikhar Dhawan’s appealing stroke play and excellent ability to score points filled that gap perfectly. Moreover, Dhawan displays flamboyance in both his playing and his attitude on the pitch.
Dhawan, also known as Gabbar, has won the hearts of countless people with his charming demeanor. On the field, he often expresses his joy by twirling his mustache and slapping his thighs in the kabaddi manner. Perhaps Dhawan has a son of the ground machismo from his upbringing in Delhi.
In ODIs against Australia in October 2010, the Delhi batsman made his international debut for India. However, Dhawan’s place in the Indian team was confirmed by his remarkable Test debut in 2013. For more than 10 years, Dhawan has been consistently performing in both Indian Premier League (IPL) and International cricket.
One of the most loved cricketers in India, the opener is known for his tremendous ability to score runs. In the 2013 Champions Trophy, 2015 World Cup and 2017 Champions Trophy, Dhawan scored the most valuable points for India. He is also the first Indian Premier League player to record two consecutive centuries.
