Former Team India opener Shikhar Dhawan is now happily married to long-time partner Sophie Shine. The wedding pictures, shared by Yuzvendra Chahal on Instagram, have gone viral, featuring the couple in resplendent white outfits and a heartwarming dance clip.
Dhawan sports a classic sherwani while Sophie shines in her lehenga, embodying matrimonial bliss. This union comes three years post his split from Ayesha Mukherjee, with whom he has a son, Zoravar, under her custody.
Their relationship was no secret, with frequent social media appearances together. A low-key engagement in January paved the way for this beautiful ceremony. Chahal’s post has been a hit, drawing endless blessings from admirers worldwide.
Dhawan hung up his international boots in August 2024, leaving behind a legacy of 10,867 runs in 269 matches, including 24 hundreds. His 2013 Champions Trophy masterclass—363 runs in five games—remains legendary, fueling India’s victory.
Known for fearless strokeplay abroad, Dhawan’s career inspired a generation. As he steps into fatherhood and husbandry anew, the cricketing fraternity rallies behind him, eager for his next innings in life.
