Enjoying his first bit of time off from the game in almost four months, Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan is living his best life before he gets to the grind. The exuberant cricketer was last seen playing in the India vs Australia 2020 T20I series that India won by a 2-1 margin. Dhawan had an average showing in his wife's home country, making 28, 52, and 1 in the T20Is and 16, 30 and 74 in the ODIs. His last performance for India in a Test match came in at The Oval, in September 2018 when he managed to make just four runs in the entire match. 

Dhawan was dropped from the Indian Test squad after that and unsurprisingly, has not been named in the Indian squad for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. India's Test campaign Down Under has gotten off to a bad start, with the visitors collapsing for their lowest ever Test total of 36 runs in the second innings of the first India vs Australia 2020 Test match. Dhawan may next be seen during England's tour of India in February.

Shikhar Dhawan's hilarious video takes the internet by storm

On a break now, Dhawan has added yet another clip to his portfolio of comical videos on Instagram. The video in question shows  Dhawan mimicking a famous Amitabh Bachchan dialogue from the 1981 Bollywood film, 'Kalia' along with a friend who is dressed like a police officer. Popularly known by Indian fans as 'Gabbar', Dhawan captioned the video, "Gabbar jahan khada hota hai, line wahi se shuru hoti hai 😉👊🏼", which can be translated to "the line starts wherever Gabbar stands". The caption is a play on Bachchan's legendary line from the film, "Hum Jahan Khade Hote Hai, Line Vahi Se Shuru Hoti Hai".
