Indian batsman shares caring message for Shoaib Malik

Veteran Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik found himself in a very difficult situation recently. He was hit severely by a moving ball on the cricket field during the fourth ODI against New Zealand recently. The intensity of the hit quite severe that it ruled out Malik from taking the field later in the game. Messages came in flooding for Malik on the social media. Indian batsman Shikhar Dhawan was not far behind in sending his good wishes either.

The Indian and Pakistani cricketers are known to be fierce rivals on the cricket field. However, when it comes to the off-field relations, the players share great bonhomie among themselves. The recent tweet by Shikhar Dhawan is only yet another example of the same. Shoaib Malik was hit by a throw from the fielder in the fixture against New Zealand.

After being hit on the head, Malik fell down on the turf almost immediately after the impact. Albeit he got up to take the strike again, his participation in the second innings of the match was nullified. Later, the scan results suggested that the veteran Pakistani all-rounder had suffered delayed concussions. Much to the relief of the cricket fraternity, Malik is fit again and has completely recovered.

Shoaib Malik had recently taken to the micro-blogging site Twitter to convey the latest update on his injury to the fans. The cricket world showered him with ‘get well soon’ messages. Shikhar Dhawan also joined the list of the well-wishers. In his recent tweet, Dhawan hoped that Malik is recovering well.

He further noted that he expects Malik to be fit again so that he can take the field for his side soon. He asked Malik to take good care of himself. While Malik is in New Zealand with the national side for limited overs fixtures, Shikhar is with the Indian team in South Africa. He would be hoping to get a chance in the final Test of the 3-match series.

Here is what Shikhar Dhawan had to say in his tweet:

“Janab @realshoaibmalik, hope you’re recovering well and will be fit soon to be back on the field! Take care,” Shikhar Dhawan tweeted.

Janab @realshoaibmalik, hope you're recovering well and will be fit soon to be back on the field! Take care?☺
