Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan is enjoying most of his time with his wife Sophie, and his Instagram feed is proof. From sharing romantic trips to partying and even seeking blessings and visiting shrines in India, Shikhar, along with his wife, recently headed to the Tirumala temple and sought the blessings of Lord Venkateswara.

Several photos and videos of Shikhar and Sophie twinning in traditional shades of white have gone viral.

Shikhar Dhawan donned a white kurta and dhoti, while Sophie looked elegant in a graceful white suit. In the viral clips, Shikhar Dhawan was seen happily meeting devotees and also obliged fans by posing for photographs with them. After seeking Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy’s blessings, he said, “I had such a wonderful ‘darshan’. The administration here made such great arrangements. I am very grateful to have had such a good ‘darshan’ of Lord Tirupati.”

For the unversed, Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie tied the knot on February 21, 2026. Shikhar Dhawan was earlier married to Aesha Mukerji, with whom he shares a son, Zoravar.

The couple parted ways in October 2023 after eight years of marriage, with a Delhi family court granting Dhawan a divorce decree on October 5, 2023. Dhawan has said that he has not been able to meet his son, Zoravar, in person for nearly two years following the end of his marriage. He has also opened up about his relationship with his son and the emotional challenges of being away from him.

Shikhar Dhawan was widely known as a left-handed opening batsman who represented India across all formats and announced his retirement from international and domestic cricket in August 2024.
