"Usey Accha Lagta Tha Whenever...": Shikhar Dhawan On His On-Field Partnership With Rohit Sharma

On the occasion of Friendship Day, Indian veteran Shikhar Dhawan opened up on bonding with his batting partner Rohit Sharma and named a song that the 'Hitman' liked to sing while they batted together. Though the International Day of Friendship is observed on July 30 worldwide, India observes Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August every year. Speaking to Star Sports, Dhawan said about Rohit, "I have opened with him for 8-10 years, so I have a strong bond with him. He is a gem of a person. Usse bada achha lagta tha jab mai ek gaana gaata tha pitch pe (he used to like it a lot whenever I sang one particular song), 'putt jattan de bulaonde bakre'. So he would look at me and then sing the same song. It is one moment that repeated often. He remembered a couple of lines from the song, which he used to sing and then laugh."
