Young star Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, and wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson were seen enjoying a Wimbledon match along with former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. During the outing, the players participated in the popular “Dap Challenge”, creating a fun moment for fans.
Cricketers Bring Their Own Style to the Dap Challenge
The group attended the Wimbledon final between Alexander Zverev and Jannik Sinner. Apart from enjoying the tennis action, they took part in the trending handshake challenge.
The challenge focused on coordination, timing, and style. Each participant had to perform a unique handshake combination, with points awarded based on how smoothly they completed it.

Their smooth execution showed that experience matters even in a fun social media challenge.
Abhishek Sharma Comes Close
Young Indian batter Abhishek Sharma also delivered an impressive performance. His coordination and style earned him a score of 9.5 points, placing him just behind the top performers.
His performance added more excitement to the friendly competition.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi Finishes Behind Teammates
The youngest member of the group, 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, also participated in the challenge. Although he impressed fans with his enthusiasm, his timing was slightly off compared to the others.
He scored 9 points, finishing behind Yuvraj Singh, Sanju Samson, and Abhishek Sharma.
Despite the lower score, fans appreciated the young cricketer’s confidence and participation.
What Is the Dap Challenge?
The Dap Challenge is a popular social media trend based on creative handshakes. Two people create a stylish sequence of hand movements that must be perfectly timed.
The main attraction of the challenge is the sound created when the hands connect at the right moment. Participants often make it more difficult by attempting faster versions or performing with limited vision.
The challenge has become popular among celebrities, athletes, and social media users because it combines fun, creativity, and coordination.
A Fun Moment Beyond Cricket
The viral video gave fans a different glimpse of Indian cricketers away from the pressure of matches and tournaments. Instead of runs and wickets, the players competed through style and teamwork.
While Vaibhav Suryavanshi may not have topped the Dap Challenge scoreboard, his participation showed the growing popularity of the young cricketer among fans.
