How Sufi music helps Shikhar Dhawan find his groove

We take the Wadali Brothers and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan fan to experience his first live qawwali at the dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin. The result: A batsman on a philosophical new pitch!

Dararein, dararein hain maathe pe maula, Marammat muqaddar ki kar do maula.
