Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, known for his flamboyant batting and ever-charming personality, grabbed headlines at the Times Now Summit 2025—not just for his cricketing insights but for his rumored romance. While his candid conversations with former teammates entertained fans, it was his appearance alongside a mystery woman, later identified as Ireland’s Sophie Shine, that set social media buzzing with speculation about his love life.
For weeks, Shikhar Dhawan had remained tight-lipped about the rumors, but when pressed about moving on from his past relationship, he finally opened up.
“Yes, I have moved on. I wouldn’t say I was unlucky in love—rather, my choices came from inexperience. But now, I have experience, and that will come in handy. It was a learning curve for me. There were good moments, there were bad moments, and I am grateful for all of them,” he shared.

When probed about whether he was dating someone, he effortlessly dodged the query like a well-directed bouncer. “I know how to handle bouncers in cricket, and this is another one I won’t get caught on!” he laughed.
