Veteran India batter Shikhar Dhawan is widely revered as one of the best openers of modern-day cricket. The 37-year-old formed a formidable opening pair with skipper Rohit Sharma for quite a few years. In the 167 ODIs that he has played for India, Dhawan has accumulated 6793 runs to his name, making him one of the most dangerous batters in world cricket.

Apart from being a formidable force with the bat, Dhawan is quite active across social media. The 37-year-old regularly makes headlines, and the same was the case once again as he opened up about his failed marriage with amateur kickboxer Aesha Mukerji.

Dhawan married her back in 2012, and the couple parted ways in September 2021. "I failed because the final decision is the person’s own. I don’t point fingers at others. I failed because I was not aware of that field. The things I talk about cricket today, I wouldn’t have been aware of the same 20 years back. It comes with experience," Dhawan said in an interview with Aaj Tak.

"Right now my divorce case is going on. Tomorrow, if I want to marry again, I will be much wiser in that field. I’ll know what kind of girl I need; someone whom I can spend my life with. When I was 26–27 and I was continuously playing, I was not in any relationship. I used to have fun, but was never in a relationship," he said.

"So, when I fell in love, I couldn’t see the red flags. But today, if I fall in love, I will be able to see those red flags. So, if I see those red flags, I will walk out. If not, I will carry on," he added.

Dhawan will lead Punjab Kings in their quest for first IPL title 

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 scheduled to begin on March 31, Shikhar Dhawan will again don the jersey of Punjab Kings, as the veteran batter will be keen on leading the side to their first ever IPL title.

With the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Sam Curran, and many more, PBKS will look to secure a playoff spot in the forthcoming edition after barely missing out on it in 2022.
