Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, who is serving as a brand ambassador for the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy, has sparked curiosity among fans after being spotted with a woman during a match. The ICC appointed four players as ambassadors for this prestigious tournament, and Dhawan is among them.

On Thursday, Dhawan attended the Bangladesh match in Dubai, where he interacted with Indian players before settling in the stands to watch the game. However, what caught netizens’ attention was the presence of a woman seated next to him. Photos and videos of the duo quickly went viral, leading to widespread speculation about her identity and their relationship.

Several media reports have identified the woman as Sophie Shine from Ireland. While there is no official confirmation regarding their relationship, Dhawan follows Shine on social media, further fueling curiosity.

Ahead of the Bangladesh match, Dhawan shared his thoughts on the tournament, stating that India is among the top contenders for the Champions Trophy. However, he acknowledged that the absence of star pacer Jasprit Bumrah could be a disadvantage for the team, adding that Bumrah’s presence would have significantly boosted India’s chances of victory.
