Shikhar Dhawan may not be involved at the ongoing T20 World Cup in Oman and the UAE but cricket fans felt his presence during the tournament opener between Oman and Papua New Guinea.
Shikhar Dhawan may not be involved with the Indian cricket team at the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup in Oman and the UAE but cricket fans felt his presence during the tournament opener between Oman and debutants Papua New Guinea (PNG) in Al Amerat on Sunday. Oman's Ludhiana-born batter Jatinder Singh was fielding during PNG's innings when he reenacted Dhawan's iconic ‘thigh-five' celebration after taking a catch. Jatinder took the catch after PNG's Assad Vala gave away a leading edge while trying to play a shot through wide long-on. Is that Jatinder or Dhawan? pic.twitter.com/2dxxOVr56V
Jatinder did the 'thigh-five' almost immediately after taking the catch, reminding cricket fans of the celebration associated with India opener Dhawan.
