Shikhar Dhawan: ‘Gabbar’ what is your crime? If needed, the friend also left the company, now Team India is turning away

Are the doors of Team India closed for Shikhar Dhawan?

Shikhar Dhawan last took the field in the ODI series against Bangladesh in December last year. However, Dhawan’s performance in that match was nothing special. Since then he was not included in Team India again. During this, Shubman Gill started the innings along with Rohit Sharma. If Shubman did not land for the opening, then Ishaan got this opportunity.

Both these batsmen took full advantage of the opportunity and on many occasions they were able to get the team off to a good start with their steady batting. In such a situation, it is now believed that the way back for Dhawan has become difficult. A prime example of this is his exclusion from the Asia Cup squad. Not just the Asia Cup, Shikhar Dhawan may now be out of the World Cup 2023 as well.

There was a time when the opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma was a super hit. Although Dhawan’s form faltered in the middle and he was dropped from the team, while Rohit later became the captain but he could not do much for Dhawan. Meanwhile, Dhawan dropped from the team.

Talk on the other hand, if the pair of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar, then both of them came together for Team India in 117 innings. During this, there was a partnership of 5193 runs between the two, in which their average was 45. Rohit and Dhawan are the second most successful pair in ODI cricket after Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar. Despite this, he has now been shown the way out of Team India.

How has Dhawan’s performance been in big tournaments?

Shikhar Dhawan has had a stellar performance in ODI cricket for India. Especially in big tournaments, his bat has thundered. In such a situation, if we talk about the ODI World Cup, then he played 10 matches for India, in which he scored 537 runs at an average of 53.70 and also included three centuries.

Apart from this, he played a total of 9 matches for Team India in the Asia Cup. In this tournament, Dhawan scored 534 runs at an average of 59.33 and also scored two centuries. At the same time, in 10 matches of the Champions Trophy, Dhawan scored 701 runs at an average of 77.88. In this also he has scored three centuries.

Why is Team India turning away from Dhawan?

There is no doubt that Dhawan’s record for Team India is excellent. Although it is also true that his game has declined significantly in the last one year. His batting average also decreased. Apart from this, Dhawan is now going to be 38 years old. In such a situation, keeping in mind his fitness and form, Team India wants to find his replacement. This is the reason why Shikhar Dhawan, who used to be the most favorite opener batsman of Team India at one time, is now turning away from him.
