I Speak To Rohit Sharma As He is The Main Leader: Shikhar Dhawan

While speaking to PTI, Shikhar Dhawan said that Rohit Sharma is the main leader and he always discusses and consults with him. He also said that communication is always a two-way street between him and coach Rahul Dravid.

“Obviously, I speak to Rohit (Sharma) as he is the main leader. So when it comes to continuity, you need to discuss and consult with him. Team’s vision is paramount for all of us. It’s always a two-way street between captain and coach, and same is the case between me and Rahul bhai,” Dhawan said.  

Dhawan also mentioned that during team meetings, everyone is given the freedom to express their opinions and then we decide what’s best for the team.

“Whatever decision is taken is a collective one. In meetings, every individual is given freedom to express his opinion and once we get multiple opinion, we come together and decide what’s best. In this way, you empower people to think and at the same time decide what’s best for the team,” Dhawan further said.
