India opener Shikhar Dhawan celebrated wife Aesha’s birthday with an emotional message and a beautiful picture with his wife.
“Wish u a very happy birthday my Love, have a great one. Thanks for making my life complete. Being d pillar of our family,” Dhawan’s post read.
Shikhar Dhawan was included in the Indian playing XI in place of Cheteshwar Pujara for the opening Test against England at Edgbaston. Dhawan was in dodgy form in the only practice match India played in England ahead of the first Test.
Despite his dismal run, Dhawan has been given chance ahead of Test specialist Pujara, who had gone nine Test innings without a century. He has averaged only 14.33 in 12 Championship innings for Yorkshire this season.
Dhawan has played 30 Tests in his career so far and scored 2153 runs at an average of 43.93, including 7 centuries and 5 half-centuries.
