'Guru Gabbar': The Backbone Behind Cricket’s Brightest Debuts
South Delhi Superstarz: Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan has long been a symbol of flamboyance at the crease, but off the field, he’s quietly carved a legacy as a mentor, someone who shapes raw talent into high-performing professionals.
Over the past few years, Dhawan’s role as a cricketing guide has gone from informal influence to structured mentorship, with several young players crediting him for their growth, discipline, and mindset - especially in high-pressure formats like the IPL.
A recent example of this influence came in April 2025, when Ashutosh Sharma, after playing a match-winning knock for Delhi Capitals, dedicated his Player of the Match award to Dhawan. In a post-match interview, Ashutosh revealed he immediately called Dhawan after the win.
