Cricket has been Shikhar Dhawan's platform all along, but in 2025, the charismatic Indian opener did the surprise of the year by walking into a new spotlight music. His first single, BESOS, released to a blend of astonishment and curiosity, but what followed was an outburst of admiration that even Dhawan himself might have not expected.

Giving a boost of star power to his musical debut, Dhawan was accompanied by Bollywood sweetheart Jacqueline Fernandez in the music video. The hot chemistry between the two, coupled with energetic visuals and Latin inspired rhythms, took BESOS from a song to a visual experience. Jacqueline, whose dancing skills are well-known, brought an infectious energy to the performance, balancing Dhawan's infectious charm.

Released on all major streaming platforms, BESOS is a mix of pop with reggaeton undertones. With Dhawan not only singing but also being credited as a co-writer, the song brings out a side of the cricketer unknown to the world. Famous for his moustache twirls and aggressive on-field play, Dhawan applies the same showmanship to the video, which has already gained millions of views.

Social media soon filled up with appreciation. Fans praised the effortless transition from cricket to music, with many admiring his bravery in venturing into new territory. "Never thought I'd be dancing to Gabbar's song," wrote one viral post. The hashtag #BESOSWithDhawan was trending across platforms within hours.

Shikhar Dhawan’s Musical Debut Hits the Right Note

Dhawan’s journey into music isn’t entirely out of the blue. In past interviews, he hinted at his love for singing, often seen crooning popular tracks behind the scenes. “Music is something that’s always been close to my heart,” he recently shared. “This was a dream I’d been nurturing quietly, and it just felt like the right time.”

Supported by renowned producers and choreographers, the song resists the fate of celebrity vanity projects. Its high-gloss production and sing-along hook have seen it make it to mainstream playlists. Even teammates such as Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya have participated in the frenzy with public endorsements.

With BESOS, Dhawan reminds us that there is passion without boundaries. Whether with a bat or microphone in hand, he's again won hearts this time over, with rhythm rather than runs.
