Opener batsman Shikhar Dhawan has become a victim of the strong bench strength of Team India. Gabbar, who has been out of the Test and T20 team for a long time, is no longer getting a place in the ODI team as well.
Dhawan flopped badly in the ODI series against Bangladesh, after which he was dropped from the ODI team against Sri Lanka and New Zealand. During the distance from Team India, Shikhar is trying his best to keep himself happy.
Dhawan remains active on social media. Fans also like his reels a lot. Opener Batter has shared a video on his Instagram account.
In this, he is seen doing rafting in the sea. Dhawan, wearing a black cloth on his head, has written, I hope your Monday also collides with the boat of love. He has put the song Pyaar Ki Kashti Mein, Laharon Ki Masti Mein… with this video.
Dhawan flopped badly in his last 5 ODI innings. In Bangladesh, he scored only 18 runs in 3 matches. Earlier, in New Zealand, he played innings of 28 and 3 runs in 2 matches.
Due to poor form, Gabbar did not get a place in the team in the ODI series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Team India has 2 opener batters in the form of Shubman Gill and Ishaan Kishan. Both of them have scored a double century in ODIs. Ishaan got a place in the team when KL Rahul was not available.
In such a situation, it is almost impossible for Shikhar Dhawan to return to the team. Dhawan has played 167 ODIs so far, in which he has scored 6793 runs with the help of 17 centuries and 39 half-centuries.
