shikhar dhawan open letter

Dear Shikhar Dhawan,

As an Indian cricket fan, I find myself at a loss for words today, not just because of your retirement from international cricket, but because of the profound impact you’ve had on the sport we love. Your journey from the dusty lanes of Delhi to becoming one of the most celebrated openers in Indian cricket history is nothing short of inspirational.

Your Contribution:

  • The Debutant’s Dream: Shikhar Dhawan, your Test debut against Australia in 2010 was not just a score; it was a statement. Scoring 187, including that unforgettable century in just 85 balls, you set a benchmark for flair and aggression that few could match.
  • ICC Tournaments: Your performances in ICC events, especially the Champions Trophy in 2013 where you were the Player of the Tournament, showcased your ability to perform under pressure. Your 143 against South Africa in the World Cup 2015 was a masterclass in batting.
  • Innings of Grit: From the 190 against West Indies to playing with a broken thumb in Sydney, your innings were not just about runs but about resilience, courage, and an undying spirit.
  • The IPL Legacy: Your contributions in the IPL, amassing over 6,700 runs, have left an indelible mark, making you one of the highest run-scorers in the tournament’s history.

Thank You, Shikhar Dhawan:

  • For the Memories: Every boundary you hit, every partnership you built, and every match you won for India, you’ve given us moments to cherish for a lifetime.
  • For the Inspiration: Your journey from being overlooked to becoming a mainstay in the Indian team teaches us about perseverance, about believing in oneself, and about the joy of the game.
  • For Your Spirit: Beyond the runs, it’s your infectious smile, your positive attitude, and your sportsmanship that have endeared you to fans across the globe.
  • For the Future: As you step into the next chapter of your life, you leave behind not just statistics but a legacy. Your retirement opens a new door for young talents, but your spirit will continue to inspire them.

Shikhar, or should I say, Gabbar, your retirement marks the end of an era, but your contributions will echo through the corridors of Indian cricket forever. Thank you for the joy, the pride, and the countless memories. Here’s wishing you all the best in your future endeavors. May you find as much joy and success in your new innings as you did on the cricket field.

With gratitude and admiration,

An Indian Cricket Fan
