Long before the word ‘teach’ was popular, I was expressing myself through music. But I didn’t know that I had broken a world record when I made an 85-ball hundred in my first international match. I hope I have earned a place in the Indian team now,” he said with a smile. Pat Cummins breaking his finger during an oval delivery against Australia in the 2019 ODI World Cup The hand with the fast ball, the speed of 150 km/h, will remain in your mind forever. Take your medicine and keep batting, I am the one who hit 117 off 109 balls,” he said.

 

Dhawan also has a huge fan base due to his IPL career. He represented Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai before finishing his career with Kings XI Punjab. The best part is there is no interference. The Arjuna Award-winning cricketer says he has no specific plans for what he will do after retirement. Since then, he has been active in business, including starting a $75 million sports scholarship, appearing on talk shows, acting in the Hindi film Double XL and currently owns a Delhi Premier League team. A lot is happening. I want to follow the pattern. I just know that whatever I do today will be higher.
