Had it not been for the COVID-19 pandemic, India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan would have been in the thick of the action for Delhi Capitals in Indian Premier League IPL.

However, the forced break has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. "I-ve looked at the pandemic as an opportunity to bond with my family. They were living in Australia, and there-s very little time I used to get with them because of the constant travel and schedule," Shikhar said during an Instagram live session for his IPL outfit on Wednesday.
