Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan spoke about his bond with son, Zoraver, where he expressed his feelings and said that his son is a very special part of his life.
Dhawan and his former wife, Ayesha Mukherjee, parted ways in October 2023. During the separation, the Delhi family court granted Dhawan a divorce decree on the grounds of cruelty.
Since the end of his marriage, the former cricketer has not been able to meet his son in person for two years. Dhawan often keeps sharing pictures of his son on social media, with the hope of reuniting with him.
Speaking about his son, Dhawan told ANI, "He's my son and a very special part of my life. Some of my most cherished memories have been with him, especially during the times he joined me on tours. Watching him grow, sharing laughs, and having those quiet father-son moments amidst the chaos of cricket is something that is also mentioned in the book. He's a part of my journey, and this book is as much about those personal chapters as it is about cricket."
Shikhar Dhawan has now officially announced his much-anticipated autobiography, "The One", through a heartfelt and introspective Instagram reel that has already resonated with fans across the country.
Known for his flamboyant strokeplay, signature moustache twirl, and unwavering resilience, Dhawan is now ready to turn the spotlight inward, sharing his personal story beyond the boundaries and big scores.
Speaking about his book, Dhawan said, "My book isn't just about centuries and trophies. It's about the phases of my life you haven't seen. It dives into my favourite memories, unseen moments, and the times I had to fight my way back through doubts, injuries, and tough days. Moreover, it's about everything that made me reach where I am today."
"The One" captures the full spectrum of Dhawan's life, his career highs, personal trials, leadership roles, and the quieter, introspective struggles that shaped him. At its core, the book is about dreaming, falling, learning, and rising again and again.
Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from domestic and international cricket in August last year. Following his retirement, he joined the Karnali Yaks after being released by the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Punjab Kings (PBKS) ahead of the 2025 mega-auction.
