He might have been relegated to vice-captaincy after KL Rahul’s late inclusion, but team’s senior-most player is always ready to lend a helping hand to the youngsters who seek out for him. Shikhar Dhawan was all set to lead the team in a three-match ODI series here, but now that he will be performing the duties of a deputy, he is ready to put his best foot forward.
“I quite enjoy sharing my experience with the youngsters in the team. I first came here in 2014 [actually 2013], when Duncan Fletcher was the Indian coach. If they [youngsters] reach out to me for any suggestions, I am [always] there to answer them,” Dhawan told reporters at a media conference. The 36-year-old southpaw is rather happy that skipper Rahul will get the much-needed game time ahead of the all-important Asia Cup.
