Shikhar Dhawan asks for Shoaib Malik’s health on Twitter; gets trolled by Indian fans

On numerous occasions, the friendship between India and Pakistan cricketers has become a topic of discussion among fans. Both of the team players share a deep respect and warm relationship with each other and it is no secret.

On the cricket stadium, they are rivals but on Twitter, they shower praises for each other and also sometimes pull each other’s leg with funny comments.

Recently, during the 4th ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand at Hamilton, Pakistani former skipper Shoaib Malik got injured. An awkward throw from Kiwi fielder Colin Munro directly hit Malik on the head due to which he was retired hurt.

And as soon as this news reached India’s opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan, he took to the micro-blogging site to ask him about Malik’s health.

Shikhar sent a tweet to Shoaib Malik who is also the husband of India’s tennis ace Sania Mirza.

“Janab @realshoaibmalik, hope you’re recovering well and will be fit soon to be back on the field! Take care.”

However, many Indian fans were unhappy with Dhawan’s act of asking the Pakistani player for his health and trolled ‘Gabbar’ badly.

Here are some of the Twitter reactions:
