Shikhar Dhawan has been a star batsman for the Indian cricket team from 2010 to 2023. Also addressed as ‘Gabbar’ by his teammates, the batsman’s fierce batting, playful attitude, and joyful nature have consistently received praise. But, behind his bright smile, he had to endure many difficulties in his personal life like his divorce and losing his son’s custody battle. Recently, after years, fans were surprised to see the former cricketer gracing the Dubai Stadium with a mystery girl, which led to rumours that Shikhar might have given a second chance to love. Finally, the cricketer opened up about it in a conversation fueling his dating rumours.
Shikhar Dhawan reveals he has a new girlfriend
After Shikhar Dhawan was seen with a mystery girl, fans were curious to know more about her and uncovered that her name is Sophie Shine, and she hails from Ireland. But, neither she nor Shikhar has spoken anything to negate the rumours. But recently, the former cricketer sat down for a conversation at the Times Summit 2025, discussing his cricket legacy and personal life. During the conversation, he admitted that he has moved on in his life (from his divorce). He doesn’t believe that love has not been on his side; rather, he feels that his inexperience made him make the wrong choice, still he has learnt from it. In his words:
“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.”
