India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan showed he is good with puns in his latest Instagram post which featured pacer Shardul Thakur. Dhawan is given the nickname of "Gabbar" by his teammates and with Thakur by his side, he didn't miss out on using the Bollywood superhit movie 'Sholay' reference.
Posting the photo on Instagram, Dhawan captioned it as, "Gabbar and Thakur off-screen". The post received a comment from India cricketer Kedar Jadhav who called it a 'rare combination'.

Dhawan had recently advised fans to stay at home amid the second wave of COVID-19 in 'Gabbar' style. India is fighting against Coronavirus and the rise in COVID-19 cases has been a sign of worry for the country since last couple of months.
Dhawan appealed to the citizens to stay at home in his unique way, as he used a line from Akshay Kumar's Bollywood movie 'Gabbar is Back'. "Ghar pe rehne ka nahi toh Gabbar aa jayega," he had posted.
Thakur is currently with Team India on the United Kingdom (UK) tour. India will play ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand before facing them in a five-match Test series against England. Dhawan is expected to be on the Sri Lanka tour for the limited-overs series with a specialist white-ball Indian team.
