On Sunday, India’s left-arm opener Shikhar Dhawan said if he was the selector of Indian team then he would have picked Shubman Gill over himself as an opener in ODI’s.
Talking to a prominent news channel, Dhawan said he could be out of the team after Ishan Kishan’s double hundred against Bangladesh. Talking about Shubman Gill’s gameplay and his ability to play in all the formats, Dhawan said, “I feel the way Shubman is. Like he was playing two formats and performing well in Tests and T20Is. He was playing more matches in the international circuit and I wasn’t.”
Speaking of Ishan Kishan’s double hundred which he smashed in December against Bangladesh, Dhawan said, “When Ishan Kishan slammed a double century against Bangladesh, and then for a moment I thought I could be out of the team.”
The opener also said that, the captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid gave him a full back after he was dropped due to his bad form. “When Rohit took over the captaincy he, along with Rahul Dravid backed me enough.
