Shikhar Dhawan, the former Indian cricket team batter, has found himself in the spotlight after being spotted with a mystery woman during the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025. Dhawan, who is currently serving as the official ambassador for the tournament, was spotted during the match between India and Bangladesh in Dubai on Thursday. The explosive left-handed batter was enjoying the match with a mystery woman, and their picture has gone viral on social media. Fans were left buzzing about the possible relationship between the two, and a number of pictures and videos of them started making the rounds.

The mystery woman was identified as Sophie Shine, an Ireland-based product consultant. While nothing official was known about their relationship, Dhawan follows Shine on social media. The speculation intensified after a clip surfaced where Dhawan, seemingly aware of the camera, attempted to hide his face while appearing alongside Sophie. The two were also reportedly seen together in November last year and follow each other on social media, further fueling the rumors. As of now, neither Dhawan nor Sophie has confirmed or denied these speculations. The cricket community is eagerly waiting to see if this is the start of a new chapter in Dhawan’s personal life or just another case of social media frenzy.

Meanwhile, India will feel Jasprit Bumrah's absence "very strongly" in the Champions Trophy, but they still have a great chance to win the tournament considering their recent form and a host of match-winners at their disposal, reckons former opener Shikhar Dhawan. Pace spearhead Bumrah was ruled out of the tournament due to a lower back injury, having taken the maximum load during India's five-match Test series against Australia. Dhawan is, however, backing Shubman Gill and Harshit Rana to sizzle in the tournament. The Indian team has a very balanced side, especially with the bat – there is a nice blend of experience and youth. Shubman Gill, in particular, is so consistent and he has a big role to play. Dhawan thinks he will have a great tournament, and his performance will be crucial in determining the team's success.
