Indian cricket star Shikhar Dhawan has once again found himself in the spotlight, but this time, it’s not for his performances on the field. The buzz is all about a mystery woman—Sophie Shine—who has been making waves online, fueling speculation about a possible romance between the two.

Who is Sophie Shine?

Sophie Shine has rapidly gained attention, not just for her rumored connection to Dhawan but also for her social media presence.

She is reportedly an Irish product consultant, but beyond that, little is known about her background. However, her striking looks and engaging online content have already made her a name to watch.

Things escalated when she was spotted at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, where Dhawan was also present. If that wasn’t enough to get the gossip mills running, an Instagram post featuring Sophie wearing a diamond ring added more fuel to the fire. Naturally, fans started wondering—did Shikhar Dhawan put that ring on her finger?

Dhawan finally breaks his silence

Shikhar Dhawan has had a rollercoaster journey in his personal life, with a high-profile divorce that left fans curious about his next move in love. When asked about his relationship status recently, the cricketer didn’t shy away from addressing the speculation—but he also made sure to keep things playful.

“Yes, I have moved on,” Dhawan admitted. “I wouldn’t say I was unlucky in love—rather, my choices came from inexperience. But now, I have experience, and that will come in handy. It was a learning curve for me.”

When asked if he was ready to fall in love again, Dhawan’s response was cheeky yet telling: “I am always in love!”

But the million-dollar question remains—was he referring to Sophie Shine? The cricketer wasn’t ready to spill all the beans just yet. With a classic Dhawan-style witty reply, he dodged the question like a seasoned pro.

“See, I know how to dodge bouncers in cricket, and I know you’re throwing one at me now. But I won’t get caught. I will not take any name. But the most beautiful girl in the room is my girlfriend. Now you can figure it out,” he said with a laugh.

While Dhawan’s comments have only intensified the speculation, there’s still no official confirmation of his relationship with Sophie Shine. Fans have spotted the two together, but whether they’re dating or just good friends remains a mystery.
