Indian cricket legends Harbhajan Singh and Rohit Sharma recently shared a light-hearted moment as they recounted former teammate Shikhar Dhawan’s amusing behaviour at their respective wedding celebrations, revealing how Dhawan came empty-handed yet thoroughly enjoyed himself.
Speaking on his YouTube show Who’s The Boss?, hosted alongside his wife Geeta Basra, Harbhajan reminisced about his wedding in Jalandhar on October 29, 2015. “Shikhar Dhawan came to our wedding. He danced, ate, drank, and had an absolute blast,” Harbhajan shared with a smile. “While leaving, he slipped an envelope into my pocket. I wondered what he was doing. When I opened it later, forget 101 rupees, there wasn’t even one rupee inside — it was completely empty!”
In Indian tradition, it is customary to gift envelopes containing cash, often accompanied by a one-rupee coin, as a token of blessing at weddings and special occasions.
Harbhajan then playfully turned to Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh, asking whether Dhawan had done the same at their wedding. Rohit, who married Ritika on December 13, 2015, responded with a laugh: “Nothing! He danced, ate, drank, and simply left.”
Despite the teasing, both Harbhajan and Rohit were full of praise for Dhawan, fondly recalling his larger-than-life personality and immense contribution to Indian cricket. “What a guy — class!” Rohit remarked. “We’ve been playing together since our childhood days. Even before representing India, we toured Australia for India A together.”
The camaraderie between Rohit and Dhawan is well documented. The duo amassed 5,148 runs together in 115 innings, making them the fourth-highest opening partnership in ODI history.
Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from all forms of competitive cricket in August last year. Rohit Sharma has also stepped away from T20 Internationals and Test cricket but remains an integral part of India’s ODI squad, where he serves as captain. He is reportedly focused on maintaining his fitness with hopes of leading India in the 2027 World Cup.
