As the next ICC tournament approaches, the question on every cricket fan\u2019s mind is whether we will see the return of Shikhar Dhawan to the Indian team. Dhawan has established himself as a reliable and explosive opening batsman, especially in crucial ICC tournaments.<\/p>\n
Looking back at India\u2019s last triumph in an ICC tournament, the Champions Trophy in 2013, Dhawan\u2019s exceptional performance stands out. He earned the coveted Golden Bat award, was named the Player of the Tournament, amassed the most runs, and delivered a match-winning performance against South Africa.<\/p>\n
Following in the footsteps of Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag, Dhawan has emerged as one of the finest left-handed openers in Indian cricket history. His partnership with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been fruitful, with their right-left combination adding depth and variety to the team\u2019s batting lineup. Furthermore, Dhawan\u2019s leadership qualities were recognized when he was given the opportunity to captain the Indian ODI team last year.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the upcoming changes in the BCCI selection committee are worth considering. Speculation suggests that former Indian opener Virender Sehwag may become the next chief selector. Being a left-handed opener himself, Sehwag is likely to appreciate the value and skillset of a batsman like Dhawan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
