For some odd reason, Team India opening batter Shikhar Dhawan didn't wear his own t-shirt when he came out to bat against Zimbabwe in the third ODI at the Harare Sports Club on August 22 (Monday). The left-handed batter wore a t-shirt with Shardul Thakur's name on it and covered it up with tape. But this is not the only thing that caught the eye of viewers enjoying the game on television.
In the 27th over, the camera panned towards a fan in the stand, who was holding a placard with 'Shikhar, Can I have yo'ur' shirt?' written on it. Dhawan, who was watching the game from the balcony alongside KL Rahul, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Avesh Khan, also saw placard on the big screen.
When the camera panned towards Dhawan, the Indian batter almost took his shirt off before putting it back, leaving in teammates uncontrolled laughter.

On the batting front, Dhawan scored 40 runs off 68 runs handing a catch to Sean Williams off Brad Evans' bowling. In the three matches this series, the southpaw has registered scores of 81 not out in 113 balls in the first ODI, 33 runs off 21 balls in second ODI while ending the tour with a knock of 40 runs.
Meanwhile, the Men in Blue rode on Shubman Gill's marvelous century (his first in ODI cricket) and scored 289/8 in their allocated 50 overs.
