Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan share a deep bond both on and off the cricket field. As former teammates for the Delhi state team and longtime representatives of the Indian cricket squad, they have shared the field for over a decade.
Following Royal Challengers Bangalore’s victory against Punjab Kings in the IPL 2024, Virat was observed consoling, embracing, and sharing a moment of laughter with his old teammate and close friend Dhawan.
The scene saw Virat consoling Dhawan, sharing warm embraces, and eventually breaking into laughter together. Their camaraderie transcends the boundaries of the game, reminding fans that cricket is not just about runs and wickets—it’s also about the enduring friendships forged on the pitch.
Cricket, they say, is more than just a sport—it’s a canvas where friendships are painted, rivalries are etched, and emotions flow freely. In the high-octane world of Indian Premier League (IPL), where fierce competition reigns supreme, there exists a heartwarming bond that transcends team loyalties and match outcomes.
It’s the camaraderie between Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan—two cricketing maestros who share a connection that goes beyond the boundary ropes.

Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan, the Delhi duo
Their journey began long before the IPL glitz and glamour. As young cricketers representing Delhi in domestic cricket, Kohli and Dhawan honed their skills together. They battled it out in the nets, celebrated victories, and weathered defeats side by side.
Their friendship blossomed amidst the cacophony of Delhi’s bustling streets—a friendship that would withstand the test of time and the pressures of international cricket.
Sure, the stats tell a story. Kohli, the run-machine, and Dhawan, the flamboyant opener, have carved their names in cricketing history. But it’s the intangibles that define their bond. It’s the way Kohli celebrates Dhawan’s centuries, the way Dhawan cheers for Kohli’s cover drives.
It’s the late-night chats, the inside jokes, and the shared meals on tour buses. It’s the understanding that comes from years of playing together—the unspoken cues that guide them on the field.
