Delhi Capitals Opener Shikhar Dhawan heaped rich praise on his former SRH team-mates Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi.

'Wishing everyone #RamadanKareem. So proud of them! It is not easy to fast the whole day & then play the match. But they make it look effortless! An inspiration for their country & the world cricket! Your energy motivates everyone to dream big. May Allah's blessings be with you!' Shikhar tweeted.
