The limited-overs format is designful as a rehearsal for the Test cricket. There is a lot of verbal duelling going on between the two sides. A lot of excitement and enthusiasm is flowing between both the teams.

There are a few miseries when it comes to Indian batting as it appears weary on occasions. However, the overall performance of the team was phenomenal.

A rough tour for Shikhar Dhawan:

Shikhar Dhawan, in particular, is not having a grand tour so far. The opening batsman of the Team India could only garner 19 runs in the T20 series. In One-day International series, he got off to an excellent start.

However, he could not leave his traces. In the practice game against Essex, he once again fell cheaply. He bagged a pair of ducks against Essex.

The dependable Pujara:

Talking about a dependable person from Team India, Chetheshwar Pujara shares a similar story.

Although Pujara did not feature in limited-overs format, he failed in the first inning against Essex. In the second innings, he got a good start, but he could not capitalise on it.

In the meantime, Shikhar Dhawan took social media to share a picture of him, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli. He put a fantastic caption to the image while using his poetic skills.

The picture grabbed the eyeballs of Indian fans, and they were quick to react.

The tweet read: “Kaise na ho gujara.. jab saath ho Kohli aur Pujara! “

Pujara was quick to take notice of post from Dhawan. He reacts back to his teammate in a similar way.
