Captaincy – The burden which receives massive attention in the game of cricket.

However, he made sure to involve his name linking to both skippers. Shikhar Dhawan revealed that Rohit Sharma will discuss plans with him while Virat Kohli discusses mostly with Rohit Sharma during the course of the game. He also feels that there is one year left for the grand event, for which, they have started preparations already.

“They are different characters. In different situations, they make different choices. Whatever they feel right at one particular moment, they go with it. They, of course, discuss with each other. When Rohit is leading, he discusses with me, when Virat is leading he discusses with Rohit and me too,” Shikhar Dhawan said.
