During an Instagram live session with his IPL team Delhi Capitals, Dhawan went on to say that he knows Rohit from U-19 days when the two had camped together.

The Delhi cricketer then added that both of them know each other’s nature and characters and at the same time, he is proud that they have done so well for India.

Furthermore, the southpaw also added that there is a lot of positive energy and vibes when everything is in sync talking about their friendship.

Meanwhile, all the global sporting events have either been postponed or cancelled since the month of March due to the global pandemic. Rohit Sharma was all set to lead the defending champions Mumbai Indians in IPL 2020 that was originally scheduled to get underway on March 29, but has now been suspended indefinitely due to coronavirus fear. MI will not only be hoping to retain their title, but will also be eager to win their record fifth IPL trophy.

At the same time, a new look Delhi franchise (formerly known as Delhi Daredevils till the 2018 edition) had made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2012.
