The veteran opener, Shikhar Dhawan will be coming back to the Delhi based franchise this season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as he will be featuring for the Delhi Capitals (DC). His presence itself will reinforce the strength of the Delhi team as they have always been regarded as under-achievers in all the IPL seasons. However, apart from Dhawan’s inclusion, former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly has also been roped in as the franchise’s advisor.

Dhawan, like Ganguly in his playing days, used to open the batting for India and is one of the most accomplished left-handed batsmen to have played for India. The presence of Ganguly is likely to help Dhawan to improve his game, especially ahead of the World Cup. He hasn’t been in great form and hit just one big score of 143 in over a month in international cricket. His opening partnership with Rohit Sharma will be crucial for India in the WC.

Shikhar Dhawan recently shared a picture of him having a chat with Ganguly – both wearing the practice kit of the DC and he made it more interactive by asking the fans to caption the picture. He captioned, “So, what are we talking about? Caption this and tell me Dada mujhse kya kah rahe hain?”

Dhawan’s former teammate in Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Yuvraj Singh decided to take a jibe at the former. In his witty reply, Yuvraj wrote, “He’s saying jatt ji if you bowl in the IPL please make sure your wearing full sleeves T-shirt.” In the picture, Dhawan is seen wearing a half-sleeve T-shirt that made his tattooed arms visible.

In 2019, Yuvraj is playing for Mumbai Indians (MI) in this edition of the IPL. Delhi and Mumbai will play their first match of this season against each other at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and it will be a good game to watch with two former SRH mates appearing in the opposite ranks.
