[WATCH]- Shikhar Dhawan Visits Fan Hit By Ball During BCL 2024 Semifinal In Surat

Retired Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan showed a heartwarming gesture toward a fan hit by a ball during the Big Cricket League (BCL) semi-final on Saturday in Surat. A video on Instagram captured Dhawan speaking to the young fan seated in the top tier.

During the match, a young fan was hit on the chest when the ball was sent into the stands. Although it didn’t appear to be a serious injury, Dhawan made sure to check on the spectator. He went into the stands where the fan was located and, just a few steps away, threw a water bottle to him.

Despite failing to score for the Northern Challengers against the Southern Spartans, Dhawan’s team posted a strong total of 218, thanks to contributions from Samiullah Shinwari (95), Upul Tharanga (46), and Gurkeerat Singh Mann (43).

Solomon Mire smashed 14 sixes during his blistering 38-ball 110, leading the Spartans to a six-wicket victory with over three overs remaining. Captain Suresh Raina (25) and Phil Mustard (44) also made vital contributions in the game.
