South Africa bowler Tabraiz Shamsi took to social media to share a picture with India's opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan while he captioned it, 'only love, enjoyment and entertainment'.
In the third T20I between India and South Africa, Shikhar Dhawan smashed Shamsi for two sixes back-to-back off the first two deliveries bowled by Shamsi.
Tabraiz Shamsi also showed off his wit in the post. Shamsi stated that he also asked the 'big man' Shikhar Dhawan as to why the latter did not warn him about it before hitting him out of the stadium.
