New Delhi, Oct 27: India opener Shikhar Dhawan shared an adorable video of his son Zoravar and posted an emotional message for the little one.

In a video recorded at home, little Zoravar - Dhawan's young son - was getting excited as Team India cricketers stood in the stadium while the national anthem was being played before the second ODI against New Zealand.

The kid could be seen searching his father and started screaming in excitement having spotted him on the television screen. Zoravar is in Australia where Dhawan's wife Ayesha is based.

"Is that papa?" asks Zoravar when Dhawan comes into the frame and the kid starts jumping in excitement. The child's innocence could make anybody's heart melt and daddy Dhawan was no different.

The cricketer shared the video of his son and also had a beautifully emotional message for him.

"Dil bhar aaya video dekh ke, jis tareeke se woh mujhe dhoondh rha hai.wish zoraver ko gale laga sakta main aur khoob pyaar de sakta. Mera pyaar aur duyaaein hamesha mere bachon ke saath hain ...love u all. (Loved the video, the way he is searching for me. Wish I could hug Zoraver and give him lots of love. My love and wishes are always with my children)" Dhawan captioned the adorable video posted on his Instagram account.
