Would Have Picked Shubman Gill Over Me, If I Was A Selector: Shikhar Dhawan

By IANS News March 26, 2023 • 18:48 PM View: 666

Veteran India left-handed opener Shikhar Dhawan has admitted that if he was the team selector he would have picked Shubman Gill over him in the ODI squad, saying that the right-handed youngster is in exceptional form right now.

Dhawan made 688 runs in 22 matches in 2022 at an average of 34.40. But his strike-rate dipped from 94.51 from his debut in 2013 until 2021 to 74.21 in 2022. He last played for India in the ODIs against Bangladesh last year.
