Dhawan Not the One
The Morning Standard
|August 31, 2025
Shikhar Dhawan has never been the one to blend in. With his explosive batting, twirling mustache, and signature 'thigh-five' celebrations, he has always been as much a performer as a player.
A natural entertainer, he left behind snapshots of carefree aggression that his fans don’t seem to forget.
Yet when it comes to telling his own story, the magic doesn’t quite translate.
His book The One: Cricket, My Life and More, coauthored with Chandresh Narayanan and Namita Kala, fails to impress. It follows a predictable chronology, beginning with his early life in Delhi’s Vikaspuri, his selection for the Indian team, and moving on to exploring his world beyond the 22 yards of the cricket pitch. Even as it attempts to mirror his journey on and off the field, it reads less like a flashy T20 innings and more like a long, forgettable Test match.
