Keshav Dabbas stuns famed Indian openers Rohit and Dhawan in the nets
Keshav Dabbas had stunned world-class openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan in the nets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi ahead of the 1st T20I
The cricket fans might be hearing Keshav Dabbas's name for the very first time. However, the young bowler has already seemed to have made a mark for himself. You have heard that right. He has become an overnight sensation after he did the unthinkable during a practice session by getting the better of two world-class batsmen Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma.
Keshav Dabbas scalps Rohit & Dhawan
Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have been Indian's most reliable opening pair ever since 2013. The duo has smashed the best bowlers out of the park and has also been involved in many huge as well as match-winning partnerships. However, the top two batsmen of the famed Indian batting line-up were in for a big surprise during Team India's practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi where the 19-year-old had castled both of them.
The youngster from Delhi was then quoted by a daily publication that it was a great feeling and that he had no idea about what to say. As per reports, Keshav Dabbas is associated with Surinder Khanna Cricket Academy and has also represented the Delhi U-19 team in one match. Keshav was also an official net bowler during Australia's successful tour of India earlier this year.
Shikhar Dhawan's 'masti time' with Samaira
Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan share good chemistry, not just on the field, but off the field as well with each others' families as well. As India gear up to face Bangladesh in the T20s and Test series, the two openers took some time off the field as Shikhar Dhawan was seen enjoying the company of Rohit Sharma's daughter Samaira. Shikhar Dhawan took to his social media to post a video of himself having some 'fun' with Samaira, where he is seen 'fainting' in Samaira's cuteness.
