Shikhar Dhawan, India's left-handed opener, is known for his Kabaddi-style wicket celebration. Apart from his batting and trademark celebration, he is also known for sporting a handlebar mustache, which has become very popular among his fans. Fondly referred to as 'Gabbar', Dhawan never ceases to amaze his fans with his on-field antics. During a conversation with chat show host Gaurav Kapoor, in the latest season of "Breakfast with Champions", Dhawan shed some light on the inspiration behind his Kabaddi-style celebration.
When asked about how the celebration came about, Dhawan said that it happened in Australia when he took Shane Watson's catch during a Test series.
"I started the Kabaddi-style celebration first in Australia when I took a catch to dismiss Shane Watson. I enjoy watching Kabaddi. It is very entertaining for me. I do this with all my heart and that's why maybe people also like it. Whenever I stand at the boundary, fans see me and re-enact my kabaddi-style celebration," said the Indian cricketer.
