India opener Shikhar Dhawan, who hit a match-winning 98 in the first ODI against England after warming the bench for the major part of the T20 series, said international cricket is all about pressure and he knows how to handle it. Having lost his place in the T20 playing XI, Dhawan was under pressure to perform in the opening ODI with India spoilt for choices in all batting positions.
"In international cricket, pressure is always there and the good thing is as a (an) experienced player, I know how to handle pressure nicely," Dhawan said at the post-match press conference. "And secondly, as I said, because I am experienced player, so I know what shots to play on what wickets and we read the wicket nicely and communicate very nicely in the batting unit and that`s what we did and that worked for us." "Of course, once I got set, I have a lot of shots, that I can get my runs," he said.
