Dhawan, who recently revealed his struggle to meet his son Zoravar in the last five to six months, is currently captaining the Punjab Kings side in the IPL 2024. Punjab Kings have played two matches so far in the tournament and won one and lost one.
In December last year, Dhawan made a shocking revelation, saying he had been blocked from contacting his nine-year-old son.
The left-hander shared an emotional post on Instagram on his son's birthday, shedding light on the challenges he faced following his unsuccessful marriage with his wife
Aesha Mukerji
.
In October last year, a Delhi court granted divorce to Dhawan citing "cruelty" inflicted upon the renowned Indian cricketer by his estranged wife Aesha Mukerji.
