Veteran Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan spoke at length about his personal and professional life as he arrived at a Humans of Bombay podcast. Dhawan didn’t shy away from sharing some personal chapters of his life, especially with regard to his marriage and his son. The cricketer, who will be leading Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, also spoke about his professional life, and the inspiration he sought from the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, etc. Dhawan also spoke about the ‘law of attraction’ with the anchor Karishma Mehta and made a cheeky pun while discussing the topic on the show.

Dhawan claimed to be a big believer when it comes to the ‘law of attraction’. The anchor said that she also believes in the theory, and in fact, recently attended a workshop on the same.

Here’s how the conversation went:

Anchor: When it comes to the law of attraction I am a huge believer, In fact, yesterday we had a manifestation workshop with a PhD. in metaphysical counselling.

Dhawan: You attracted me as well?

Anchor: I am sure this interview is 100% attracted.

Dhawan also spoke about the lessons he learned from the great Sachin Tendulkar, including dedication and love for the game.

“Learned dedication, the love he has for the game, and knowledge from Sachin Paaji. He used to decipher pretty easily the weight of the willow, which shows his depth of knowledge about the game. He used to know how to make a bat work.. so he was involved that much. He of course taught how to build your innings and hit a century eventually,” Dhawan said in the interview.

Dhawan isn’t in the scheme of things as far as international cricket is concerned, with his sole focus, at present, being IPL duties with the Punjab Kings.
