Reacting to the post: Dhawan replied with a series of emojis.
Dhawan who was recently in action for the Delhi Capitals scored 587 runs from 16 matches and emerged as the fourth highest run-scorer in IPL 2021, behind Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis and KL Rahul. Dhawan missed making it to India's T20 World Cup squad with selectors saying that the left-handed batsman was rested. Dhawan last played for India in the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka in July, where he led the team is six matches – three ODIs and three T20Is.
Despite having a formidable record in ICC tournaments, Dhawan was ignored for the T20 World Cup, which surprised a lot of fans and former cricketers alike. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma are expected to open for India, while there is also the possibility of Kohli and Rohit beginning the innings for India as it happened in March during the India vs England series at home. Former BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad was one of those who felt that Dhawan could have been a valuable addition to the team.
"Personally, I felt that maybe since this is a major event, someone like Shikhar Dhawan could have really been brought. Considering the fact that he has always done well in ICC tournaments. And he got back-to-back centuries in the IPL so he is in perfect form. I think he could have been more useful for the side," Prasad had told Sports Tak.
