Harbhajan Singh and Rohit Sharma recently shared a humorous incident involving their former teammate and longtime friend, Shikhar Dhawan, who reportedly attended both of their weddings. 

Appearing on Harbhajan’s YouTube talk show Who’s The Boss?, co-hosted by his wife and actress Geeta Basra, the couple recounted how Dhawan had shown up to their wedding in October 2015 in Jalandhar and enjoyed the celebrations without giving a customary 'shagun'.

Harbhajan, Rohit Recall Dhawan's Funny Incident 

“Shikhar Dhawan came to our wedding," Harbhajan recalled on his a YouTube show with Geeta called, Who’s The Boss? “He danced a lot, ate, drank, had an absolute blast. And while leaving, he slipped in an envelope in my pocket. Maine kaha, ‘ye kya kar raha hai?’. Maine woh khola na, 101 chorh, ek rupiya nahi tha. Khaali. (I said there was no need. When I opened it, forget 101 rupees, it didn’t even have one rupee. It was totally empty!)

This light-hearted revelation drew chuckles from the show’s guests, that is Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh. When Harbhajan turned to Rohit and asked if he received anything from Dhawan at his wedding, Rohit was quick with his reply.

“Kuch nahi. Naachke, khaake, aur peeke gaya tha (Nothing. He danced, ate, drank, and just left)," Rohit replied, prompting all four of them to break into laughter.

Despite the teasing, Rohit took a moment to highlight Dhawan’s character and their longstanding friendship.

“Woh bhi kya banda hai, class! (What a guy he his, class) From childhood, we have been playing together, and we have done a lot of tours together. Before playing for India, we had done a tour to Australia for India A," Rohit said.

Rohit, Dhawan And Harbhajan's Bonding!

The trio’s bond goes back to their early days in domestic and India A cricket. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit formed one of India’s most iconic opening pairs in white-ball cricket, especially known for their performances during the Champions Trophy 2013 and the 2015 Cricket World Cup. Although the 2015 World Cup ended in disappointment for India, the Rohit-Dhawan duo stood out with consistent starts at the top of the order.  

It is important to mention that Dhawan retired from all forms of competitive cricket in August 2024. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Rohit Sharma has stepped away from T20I and Test cricket but will serve India in ODI format. He has expressed his desire to stay fit and available for the 2027 World Cup.
