[ad_1] File photo of Shikhar Dhawan.© AFPShikhar Dhawan has been one of the reliable openers of the Indian cricket team for long. However, the left-handed batter is out of favour for the past seven to eight months. Dhawan last played a game for India in December 2022. It was an ODI match against Bangladesh. Since then, the star opener has seen his stakes falling in Indian cricket. He is the captain of the Punjab Kings team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and has performed decently in the tournament too, but a national team call-up seems to be constantly getting out of reach.A potential comeback for Dhawan took another jolt on Monday when the player could not make it to India's squad for Asia Cup 2023.Meanwhile, Board of Control for Cricket in India chief selector Ajit Agarkar ruled ou...

“People Don’t Give Credit To…”: Ex Indian Cricket Team Coach Ravi Shastri Names The Ignored Star | Cricket News

[ad_1] The Indian cricket team enters a decisive stage of the season where one or two losses could define if this year was a successful one for them or not. With the Asia Cup and ODI World Cup not too far from its commencement, there remain plenty of questions to be answered with regards to the Indian squad. One of India's most consistent players in ICC events, Shikhar Dhawan, is no longer being considered in any of the three formats. For former India head coach, it's a sad thing that Dhawan doesn't even get the credit he deserves."At the top of the order, nowhere else. And the others have to be flexible. Between Rohit, Virat, and Shubhman Gill, that can be 2, 3, 4. And a very important point is, I was coach at that time, and I keep saying that people don't give the credit that Shikhar D...

[ad_1] File image of Shikhar Dhawan© AFPShikhar Dhawan has been an ever-reliable opening option in the Indian cricket team for long. But in the last year, Dhawan has seen his stakes falling in Indian cricket. He is the captain of the Punjab Kings team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and has performed decently in the league too, but a national team call-up seems to be constantly getting out of reach. Reports had suggested that Dhawan would lead the second-string Indian side that was going to play at the Asian Games but leave alone captaincy, Dhawan was not even picked for the tournament.With Shubman Gill joining Rohit Sharma at the top of the batting order, it seems the Indian team has moved on from Dhawan, who had become a one-format player until he was dropped from the ODI side follo...

But, then, I was like they have a different thought process, you just have to accept it. Happy that Rutu (Gaikwad) will lead the side. All the young boys are there, I am sure ...
