He also represents Delhi in domestic tournaments and plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. Dhawan is married to Ayesha Mukherjee.

Rohit Sharma felt it was the crucial opening partnership which helped the host dominate their opponents.
Rohit smashed his fourth T20 century to power India to a commanding 195 for two after being asked to bat first.
Ganguly claimed that under Kohli's leadership, the Indian team will beat Australia at their own backyard in the upcoming Test series.
In exchange of Dhawan, Delhi have released all-rounder Vijay Shankar, spinner Shahbaz Nadeem and the young Abhishek Sharma to Sunrisers.
India opener Shikhar Dhawan is in awe of his captain Virat Kohli, who recently became the fastest batsman to reach 10,000 ODI runs.
This is for the second time that Rohit Sharma is in second position, having first reached number two in July this year.
Shikhar Dhawan was on Saturday dropped for the two-match Test series against West Indies after his poor run in England.
Dhawan and Rohit Sharma have provided India solid starts and that is one of the reasons why the side is unbeaten in the tournament.
One of the main reasons is believed to be Dhawan's selection in the Test team while Ishant (ankle) and Ashwin (groin) are racing against time to get fit.
Former Indian cricketers could not be any happier and as always, it's the Master Blaster himself who lead from the front to heave praises on the duo.
Jasprit Bumrah who bowled his 10 overs for just 29 runs and 2 wickets was the star of the bowling for India and it didn't go unnoticed by the captain.
Chasing a target of 238, Rohit (111 no off 119 balls) and Dhawan (114 off 100 balls) flayed the Pakistan attack adding 210 runs for the opening stand to seal their second lopsided victory at 2018 Asia Cup.
India's main aim would be to settle their middle-order combination and also find a perfect batting position for Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Dhawan's performance also led to former India player Harbhajan Singh who was on his commentary stint showing his dance moves.
It's not an everyday scenario, but Team India's 'Gabbar' is an entertainer on and off field and this time he managed to do so during the match.
India went down by 60 runs in the fourth Test at Southampton to give the hosts an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series, the defeat leaving the country's cricket fraternity disappointed.
