Two of the most destructive opening batters of the modern era, Shikhar Dhawan and Chris Gayle seem to be enjoying their retirement period as the two men are seen showcasing their dance moves.
Dhawan in a video on his official Instagram handle, posted a video where he along with the Universe Boss are busting out their dance moves.
Currently, both former international stars are competing in the Legends League Cricket tournament which boasts former cricket stars from across the globe. Dhawan and Gayle represent the Gujarat Giants franchise.

Dhawan announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on August 24 while Gayle who has been out of action in both franchise and international cricket, is yet to officially announce his retirement from the sport.
Both Dhawan and Gayle have experience playing in all three formats of the game along with a stellar career in franchise cricket. The former Indian international is the second-highest run-scorer in the Indian Premier League while the destructive West Indies opener sits as the eighth highest in the list. Gayle also holds the record for the highest individual score by a batter in T20 cricket with 175 he scored for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (then named Bangalore) against Pune Warriors in the 2013 edition of the Indian Premier League.
The side that finished third in the 2023 edition, is currently languishing at the bottom of the table having won just one game in the seven played so far.
Despite the firepower at the top of the order, the Giants have not been able to perform as a collective in the tournament, resulting in them being placed at the bottom of the table and also not being able to qualify for the playoffs.
In the playoffs, the Konark Suryas take on the Southern Superstars in the first play-off match followed by the India Capitals taking on Urbanrisers Hyderabad in the second match-up which will be played on Monday.
The final of the tournament will take place on Wednesday at the Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar.
