ODI Cricket Still Has Charm: Shikhar Dhawan

There has been a lot of concern regarding ODIs: is it still alive or has it fallen into a coma and is on the verge of death? Ben Stokes, Wasim Akram, R. Ashwin, and a number of other cricketers don’t see much life in it, but what does Shikhar Dhawan, who is intimately linked to the format, think about it?

He exclusively participates in that format for India. He understands the structure, its ups and downs, the opportunities to act and the opportunities to wait.

I Look To Make The Most Of My Opportunities Be It IPL, Domestic Or ODIs: Shikhar Dhawan

“I really enjoy playing ODI cricket. It’s an art and still has charm. I love playing it. Like Test and T20 have their values, ODI cricket is also exciting. I really like it,” Dhawan told The Indian Express.

When asked about his non-selection in T20Is he said, “I honestly don’t know about it, maybe it could be the reason. I don’t want to go deep about it… I have not played T20 for India for a long time now, I don’t know where I see myself. I look to make the most out of every opportunity I am getting. Be it IPL, domestic cricket, or ODI, I just want to do well, and that is the only thing under my control.”

Commenting on Virat’s form he opined, “Virat is just one inning away and he is a champion player. I am sure he will come back soon. Once he starts going, there is no stopping for him.”

Commenting on the working style of Rahul Dravid he said “Yes, every individual is different, their energy is also different. When Ravi Bhai was there, the atmosphere was different. Rahul Bhai has a different atmosphere. I had a great bonding with Ravi Bhai back then and I would say my chemistry is excellent with Rahul Bhai too. I really enjoy working with him.”
