Mumbai, India – April 23, 2025 – Amazon MX Player’s latest reality show Battleground is here, and it’s turning up the heat. This high-stakes competition tests physical strength, mental grit, and leadership skills — all under the watchful eye of cricket legend Shikhar Dhawan.

A Power-Packed Show with Star Mentors

Battleground brings together four team leaders: Asim Riaz, Rajat Dalal, Rubina Dilaik, and Abhishek Malhan. Each brings a unique style to their squad. But it’s Shikhar Dhawan, the “Super Mentor,” who sets the tone with his calm, composed energy.

Dhawan on What Makes a True Champion

Dhawan believes mindset is everything.

“The real champion is the one who gets back up and keeps moving forward,” he says.

He wants contestants to leave the show with more than just skills — he wants them to walk away with mental resilience. For him, consistency, discipline, and staying relaxed under pressure are key to long-term success.

Leading with Empathy and Balance

Dhawan isn’t just advising from the sidelines. He’s deeply involved in team dynamics.

“Some mentors are intense — passionate but fiery. I approached them with patience. Once trust was built, they were open to feedback.”

He even stepped in during a tense moment when a mentor crossed the line, encouraging an apology to restore balance.
