The post was well-received by fans even as India cricketer Kedar Jadhav commented: "Rare combination".

Dhawan and Thakur recently participated in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. IPL 2021 got postponed on May 4 after several players and support staff tested positive for COVID-19.

SunRisers Hyderabad's (SRH) Wriddhiman Saha was among the players who tested positive, but he has recovered since then and is part of India's WTC Final squad.

Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) Lakshmipathy Balaji and Michael Hussey also tested positive for the virus before the tournament was postponed. Even Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) Varun Chakaravarty and Sandeep Warrier returned with positive results.

Along with the Indian men's team, the women's team also arrived in London.

After the WTC final, the men's team will face England in a five-match Test series starting August 4.

The women's team will have a one-off Test, three ODIs, three T20Is against England.
