Team India opener Shikhar Dhawan, who is currently on the tour of West Indies, too wished his sister Shreshta on Instagram. "Kisike zakhmon par chahat se pathi kaun bandhega. Agar behne nahi hongi toh rakhi kaun bandega," he wrote, which translates to, "Who will bandage your wounds with love? If you do not have sisters, who will tie rakhis."
