Former Indian cricket team batter Shikhar Dhawan married to his long-time girlfriend Sophie Shine in a private wedding ceremony in Delhi NCR on Saturday.

Dhawan's former teammate Yuzvendra Chahal shared pictures from their wedding on his Instagram handle.

Later on Saturday night, Dhawan posted pictures on his Facebook page and captioned them with a heart emoji: 'Mr and Mrs Dhawan.' 

 

The couple who were dating for a few years, were first spotted together during a Champions Trophy 2025 match in Dubai, before making their relationship public later in the year. 

Dhawan and Shine announced their engagement on social media in January.
