Shikhar Dhawan, the swashbuckling left-handed opener and current captain of the Punjab Kings in IPL 2024, has signed on as the brand ambassador for CREX, the top-ranked free sports app on the Google Play Store. Boasting an impressive 4.6-star rating and over 50 million downloads, CREX has launched a new campaign titled ‘Cricket Ka Gabbar‘, featuring Dhawan as the lead.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Shikhar Dhawan on board as our brand ambassador,” said Purushotam Rawat, founder and CEO of CREX. “His dominance as a left-handed opener for India in international cricket has been a true inspiration for millions.”
Dhawan, fondly known as ‘Gabbar‘ by fans, brings not only his explosive batting but also his leadership qualities to the table. Even though the Punjab Kings have had a mixed bag of results this season, Dhawan’s fighting spirit and ability to perform under pressure resonate strongly with the core values of the CREX brand.
“Dhawan’s knack for rising to the challenge and emerging victorious aligns perfectly with our brand identity,” commented Purushotam. “His immense popularity as ‘Gabbar‘ and ‘Mr ICC‘ mirrors CREX’s position as the leading cricket app in India. With Dhawan joining our team, we aim to significantly accelerate our growth trajectory within the country’s booming mobile cricket app market.”
Dhawan has been a pillar for India in ICC events, consistently delivering impactful performances in major tournaments. He boasts an exceptional record in ODIs, having amassed a staggering 6793 runs in 167 matches at an impressive average of 44.11. While he has also represented India in 34 Tests and 68 T20Is, ODIs have remained his preferred format throughout his illustrious career.
