Shikhar Dhawan and his love, Ayesha Mukherjee, started getting to know each other on social networking website Facebook! The moustache swirling cricketer is grateful to his senior colleague Harbhajan Singh, who is said to have introduced Shikhar and his Australian wife on Facebook.

Ayesha, an amateur boxer, is said to have a good amount of interest in cricket. The Bengali beauty has two daughters from her first marriage and is also 12 years older than the swashbuckling opener. It is said that Dhawan had a tough time convincing his parents since they had concerns about the age difference between the two.

They got engaged in 2009 and married in 2012.
