Shikhar Dhawan is working hard to make success look easy

Monday mornings can often be very lazy and uninspiring. After a good weekend, people generally tend to take their time to settle into the new week and no wonder why the adage of ‘Monday morning blues’ has become so popular, or rather overused. Well, while the Monday mornings are lazy for most people, Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan definitely had his own plans on a fine Monday morning.

The veteran Indian opening batsman hit the gym hard and posted a video while performing a deadlift on his social media accounts. He rightly captioned the video stating it to be the Monday motivation. He noted that there is no substitute or shortcut to success. Success only comes to those who put in the hard work.

Talking about the video, Dhawan is seen performing the deadlifts in the first half of the video, and in the second half, he backs it up with some barbell rowings. It is apparent that the Kiwi side could well see some good pull shots from the willow of Dhawan in the days to come.

Here is the video of Dhawan’s workout:

“No shortcuts to hardwork! Only hardwork can make success look easy. #success #hardwork #mehnat #noshortcuts #MondayMotivation,” Shikhar Dhawan captioned the video that he shared.

Dhawan is currently with the Indian team in New Zealand. India is set to play ODI and T20I series during their tour. After a lacklustre tour of Australia, Dhawan would want to make amends against the Blackcaps and hope for improved performance. In the recently concluded ODI series against Australia, Dhawan could only muster 55 runs across the 3 innings that he played and averaged less than 20.

Despite the poor run, the southpaw is certain to feature in the starting eleven of the Indian lineup in the first ODI. The opening encounter will be played at Napier on January 23. However, if Dhawan fails to make a mark in the series, he would be under some pressure since there are the likes of Shubman Gill in the squad, who are eagerly knocking the doors of Indian cricket.
