Shikhar Dhawan’s World Cup campaign was cut short after he fractured his thumb.

India opener Shikhar Dhawan picked up bat for the first time since returning from the World Cup after sustaining a thumb injury last month but is still some time away from attaining full fitness.

Dhawan picked up his bat after he was nominated by former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh for the 'Bottle Cap Challenge.'

Besides Dhawan, Yuvraj also nominated Brian Lara, Chris Gayle and Sachin Tendulkar for the challenge.

 

‘Bottle Cap Challenge’ is a dare trending on social media platforms where one has to open the cap of a bottle without using hands. Many celebrities, including cricketers have taken part in it.

Dhawan’s World Cup campaign was cut short after he fractured his thumb — hit by a Pat Cummins bouncer during India’s league match against Australia last month.
