Former India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has hinted at a new romance after his 2023 divorce from Ayesha Mukerji. Rumors began when he was spotted with Irish woman Sophie Shine during the ICC Champions Trophy. When asked about his love life, Dhawan playfully dodged, saying, "The most beautiful girl in the room is my girlfriend".

As the cricket world speculates about Shikhar Dhawan’s personal life, the former Indian opener has hinted at a new relationship following his October 2023 divorce from Ayesha Mukerji. Dhawan was recently seen with Irish national Sophie Shine at the ICC Champions Trophy, sparking rumors that he has moved on. During a public event, Dhawan addressed the speculation with a cheeky response, stating, “The most beautiful girl in the room is my girlfriend”.
Social media went into a frenzy after the couple’s pictures from India’s match against Bangladesh in Dubai went viral. While Dhawan refrained from confirming Shine’s identity, he acknowledged that his past experiences in love had taught him valuable lessons. “I wouldn’t say I was unlucky in love—rather, my choices came from inexperience”, he admitted.
Dhawan also spoke about his son, Zoraver, whom he lost custody of after his divorce. Initially allowed only occasional video calls, Dhawan has expressed his desire to maintain a strong relationship with him despite legal challenges.
At 38, Dhawan remains in the public eye, both for his cricketing legacy and his off-field life. His playful remarks about his love life have only fueled further curiosity among fans and media alike.
