Japan woke up to a catastrophic disaster on New Year's Eve after an earthquake of 7.4 magnitude hit the central part of the state. Subsequently, 150+ tremors were felt over the next few hours, which triggered a tsunami warning.

Japan has been an earthquake-prone region due to its geographical location. The country witnessed a large-scale natural calamity back in 2011, which resulted in a sizeable destruction.

Having said that, the current situation is unfolding in a similar fashion, which is sending shockwaves around the globe.

In the aftermath of mass destruction, Japan received support and prayers from all around the world. Recently, Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan also joined the mass and extended prayers for the people affected by this tragedy.

Dhawan took to social media to express his concern and send his thoughts and prayers to the people of Japan, who have been facing the challenges posed by the disaster. 


Shikhar Dhawan, a dynamic figure in Indian cricket, has often used his platform to raise awareness about social issues and extend support to those in need. His message to Japan reflects the spirit of unity and shared humanity that transcends geographical boundaries.

While Dhawan is going through emotional turmoil in his personal as well as professional life, he didn't fail to put his platform to good use. His tweet is expected to reach places that will further raise awareness about the disaster unfolding in India's Asian counterpart.

As Japan continues to recover from the natural calamity, gestures like Dhawan's contribute to fostering a sense of community and remind us all of the power of collective goodwill. Such acts of compassion serve as a testament to the ability of sports figures to inspire not only through their athletic prowess but also through their capacity to uplift and unite people in times of adversity.

Shikhar Dhawan, once a prominent figure on the Indian side, has been sidelined owing to the influx of youth. While Dhawan has yet to close doors on his future, his imminent return seems highly unlikely for now.
