In the last five to seven years, he has become increasingly spiritual: Shikhar Dhawan

Star batter Virat Kohli has chosen a spiritual path during the last five to seven years, according to Indian batsman Shikhar Dhawan. He added that he speaks with Kohli about the subject on a regular basis. Since he was left off the ODI squad in January, Dhawan has been vying for a spot back in the Indian team.

Kohli has made a point of talking openly about his spirituality over the past few years and how it has helped him to calm down. Along with visiting numerous temples, he has an entirely different outlook on life, thanks to his wife, Anushka Sharma.

“I do speak with Virat Kohli about spiritual matters. In the last five to seven years, he has tended to be rather spiritual. He has influenced many individuals, “on “The Ranveeer Show Hindi,” remarked Shikhar Dhawan.

The former India skipper had been having trouble with the bat since 2020 and hadn’t recorded a century in an international cricket match for more than a thousand days. In a 2022 interview, Kohli admitted that it was the worst time in his life, one in which he didn’t even want to pick up a bat.

He was able to escape it nonetheless by choosing a religious path and paying regular visits to numerous temples across the nation. He has greatly benefited from it, as he has scored runs in all formats and broke his protracted century drought.

Shikhar Dhawan gets PBKS off to a strong IPL start.

In the current season of the Indian Premier League, Shikhar Dhawan is the captain of the Punjab Kings. Thus far, under his direction, PBKS has triumphed in both of its games against the Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders.

He top-scored for his team in the second game against RR with an 86 off 56 balls, which included nine fours and three sixes. Because of his performance, Punjab managed to post a huge total of 197/4 in their allotted 20 overs and win the game by five runs.

But Kohli has also had a strong start to his IPL season, smashing 82* off 49 balls in RCB’s opening match against MI. He only managed to score 21 off of 18 balls against KKR in the second game before being easily dismissed.
