Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan made a notable appearance during the second match of the Champions Trophy 2025 between India and Bangladesh at the iconic Dubai International Cricket Stadium. As a brand ambassador of the Champions Trophy, Dhawan’s presence was inevitable in India’s opening match. Notably, Dhawan is the most successful Indian batter in the Champions Trophy, with 701 runs in 10 matches at an average of 77.88. He was also seen commentating during the match, sharing his insights on the game.
During the first innings, Dhawan was spotted enjoying the match while sitting in the stands next to a lady, sparking curiosity among fans about her identity. Some sources claimed that Dhawan and the girl were seen together earlier in November 2024 as well. In October 2023, Dhawan formally separated from his former wife Ayesha Mukherjee after the Delhi court granted him a divorce on the grounds of cruelty and mental agony by his spouse. The left-handed batter retired from all forms of cricket in August 2024 after serving India for 12 years from 2010 to 2022.
*Who is the Mystery Girl?*
There isn’t much information about the girl who was seen with Dhawan, but according to some sources, her name is Sophie Shine, and she is an Irish national. She works as a product consultant, and Dhawan follows her on Instagram under the username sophieshine93.
During the match, Dhawan, who has been single since October 2023, was seen avoiding the camera when the frame showed him with the girl. However, Dhawan’s supporters are excited to find out what’s brewing between their cricketing icon and the Irish lady.
As the Champions Trophy 2025 progresses, fans will be keenly watching both the on-field action and the off-field developments involving Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie Shine.
