Shikhar Dhawan makes a clarification

After Rohit Sharma had posted a video of Dhawan talking to himself on Instagram, the southpaw came forward and made a clarification. Gabbar wrote that he was practising Shayari and reciting it from the bottom of his heart and that is when Sharma had recorded his video. The Delhi cricketer then added that if only he could have been so passionate during his studies. Shikhar Dhawan's clarification even left former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh in splits who had posted a laughter emoji. 

Rohit Sharma's dream run in the World Cup

Rohit Sharma scored 648 runs at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Not only was he the leading run-scorer of the tournament but he also scored five hundreds, which is the highest number of hundreds scored by any batsman in a single edition of the World Cup. The 'Hitman' scored hundreds against South Africa, Pakistan, England, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Rohit was a very big factor in India easily making it to the semi-finals of the World Cup and fans really admired Sharma for his consistency. He was dismissed early in the semi-finals against New Zealand as India suffered a heartbreaking exit from the quadrennial event.
