The 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) which was suspended earlier this year owing to COVID-19 conditions in India will resume in UAE in the September-October window ahead of the T20 World Cup which will also be played in the middle-east.
Team India batsman Shikhar Dhawan who represents Delhi Capitals in the IPL, recently visited the Vaishno Devi shrine as he spent some time with family members ahead of the UAE leg of the IPL.
The 35-year-old did not travel with the Delhi Capitals contingent which landed in UAE on Sunday (22 August), but is expected to join the team in the near future.
Dhawan took to Instagram and shared a glimpse of his trip and also revealed that he used to travel to this shrine with his father in his childhood and now taking his father on this trip felt really good to the left-hander.

“Vaishno devi ki paidal yatra bahut achi rahi. Bachpan ke din yaad aa gaye jab mere Papa mujhe yaaha lekar aate the. Par iss baar apne papa ko vaishno devi ke darshan karakar bahut achha laga. Yatra bahut hi mazedaar rahi, bachpan ki tarah raaste mein ganne ka ras aur maggi ka mazza liya. Puraani yaadein taaza ho gayi. Bahut hi khas anubhav, jo parivaar ke saath se aur bhi khas ban gaya,” Dhawan wrote as the caption to his Instagram post.
