Shikhar-Dhawan
The BCCI announced the 25-man squad for the tour of Sri Lanka. Shikhar Dhawan will lead the Indian Team. A total of 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is will be contested between the two cricketing giants. This is the 1st instance in which Dhawan will captain the Indian team. Here are 3 reasons why Shikhar Dhawan is the right player to lead India against Sri Lanka:
⦁ Loves a challenge
Shikhar Dhawan is one of the most experienced players in the current Indian national team. In his cricketing career, Dhawan has played 142 ODIs and 65 T20Is for the Indian team. To lead India is a privilege that only a few cricketers get in their careers. The 35-year-old will look to make the most of this opportunity, as it might not come again.
⦁ Eager to make his mark as a leader
Shikhar Dhawan has been a regular starter for India in the limited-overs format since 2013. Time and again, Shikhar Dhawan has proved himself as one of India’s most reliable batsmen in the limited-overs format. Dhawan has now been presented with a chance to prove himself as a worthy leader of the Indian side. If Dhawan performs well as India’s captain against Sri Lanka, he might get more chances to lead India in the near future.
⦁ The right man to guide the younger players
Shikhar Dhawan has a lot of experience playing in the limited-overs format. Hence, he will look to impart his wisdom to the younger players of the squad. The younger players could flourish a lot under the guidance of Shikhar Dhawan, Furthermore, in the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Dhawan seems to be the right candidate to guide the youngsters in the Indian squad.
