Despite being in the ominous form in the white-ball cricket, Shikhar Dhawan didn’t fare well-enough for India on the England tour. With the selectors going to meet on Wednesday (September 26th), the selection of Shikhar Dhawan for Windies series has become a massive headache for the panel.

Murali Vijay is back with the runs in the country season but he may have to wait for more time as he was axed for his failure in England. Probably, BCCI will once again give a chance to the young Prithvi Shaw to make his debut for India.

Coming to the other openers in the team, KL Rahul might retain his place in the team after the stunning knock at The Kennington Oval, London. So, the chances of dropping KL Rahul looks bleak.

The only possibility for the selectors to try out new players is in the place of Shikhar Dhawan. He never really looked tough in dealing with the England bowling attack on the green tops despite getting the good starts.

Shikhar Dhawan got a good record in India:

Meanwhile, Shikhar Dhawan’s prowess of scoring big knocks for the team on flat pitches would tempt the selectors. Dhawan has always delivered the goods in Asian conditions. He is one such player, who can take the game away with his daddy knocks.

Mayank Agarwal is pushing the selectors on a regular basis with his stunning knocks in the domestic cricket and for India A side. Coming to the rest of the squad, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Pujara are the certain players.

Rishabh Pant will make into the squad after a stunning century and the clouds over Dinesh Karthik’s place continues. Meanwhile, Hanuma Vihari might get one more chance after a promising start against England.

Coming to the fast bowling department, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be back in the side while the fitness concerns of Ashwin and Ishant will open the gates for the youngsters.

I just love what I script. Over the years, Cricket has been my passion and crisping articles on it gives me an immense pleasure...Cheers...!!!
