While appearing on the ‘Humans of Bombay’ show at the latter’s YouTube channel, Dhawan said:

“Dhoni bhai's calmness & composure is amazing - I learnt a lot from him. His Humility & simplicity - mind is very sharp.”

Both Shikhar Dhawan and MS Dhoni are currently slated to make their respective returns to competitive cricket through the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season.

Dhawan was retained by the Punjab Kings (PBKS) franchise last year and was even handed an additional year of team’s captaincy, despite their underwhelming returns in 2023.
