Shikhar Dhawan has always been a very calm person on and off the field.while his aggression while batting is evident with his shots, his monkish nature off it is famous as well. When asked about the IPL bio-bubble which will be in place for the whole duration of the tournament which is almost 2 months, he replied: \u201cNice to test our mental strength,\u201d. \u201cIt\u2019s almost like Big Boss\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt (the bio-bubble) is a new thing for everyone,\u201d he says. \u201cMore than challenging, I see it as an opportunity to improve in every aspect. I keep myself entertained; I take it in a positive way.\u201d
\nDhawan believes that it all depends on how the players deal with the new reality. \u201cIt totally depends on how a person talks to himself; you can be your best friend or you can be a victim,\u201d Dhawan says. \u201cYou can have 10 people who are positive around you, but if you are not your friend, no one can help.
\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have any outlet. I enjoy going to a restaurant, seeing people. So, how are people going to take it? This IPL it\u2019s going to matter a lot.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy stamina, focus, and mobility have got better,\u201d he says, \u201cI used to have a stiff body, my mobility has really gone to a level I like. Also, my skills keep changing. Little things that you won\u2019t notice like my stance has changed a little. Some of it is detailed stuff that of course I won\u2019t like to tell.\u201d Dhawan\u2019s side will be beginning their campaign against KXIP on 20th September.<\/p>\n
Delhi capitals have been on the bottom of the table for most of the seasons but last year they surprised everybody and finished third under the guidance of Shreyas Iyer. \u201cIn IPL, we have to give a fiery start,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd then the person who is set takes the game further. I would love to be an impact player, create momentum for my team. For 5-6 overs mostly I am the aggressor for India too; Rohit (Sharma) takes his time and then plays. I am talking about ODIs here. (In T20) you get 6-7 balls to settle. Sometimes it depends on what the team role is if the team wants 50 runs from 6 overs\u2026 every day it\u2019s not the same thing, but mostly you have to fire from both ends and that\u2019s the best thing. And at the same time be smart enough not to lose too many wickets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Delhi Capitals he\u2019d coach Ricky Ponting is the most high profile coach of any franchise and they hope to make the best use of the opportunity. The Australian batsman is working hard with the team during the nets and the practice sessions.. he believes the team has got what it takes to deliver and together can win the trophy which is something all teams will be fighting hard for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
