New Delhi: A day ahead of India’s white ball, tie against Sri Lanka, Shikhar Dhawan, India’s captain on the tour, expressed his confidence over the team.
In a virtual press meet on Saturday, Dhawan said that there was no competition in the team for the opening slot.
“I have interacted with all the younger colleagues, I have seen their nature and their skills in the nets. We guys have a great vibe in the team, it has been one month here. We are looking forward to tomorrow’s game,” Dhawan said.
“This series is important, any series we play for India is important. Even if there is no World Cup in the coming months or not, it does not matter. Every player wants to give his best. There is competition for the opening slot. I want my team to do well in this series. If we perform well, then further doors will open,” he said.
Dhawan also said about the similarity and differences between Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid, who has travelled with the team as a head coach for the 2 white-ball series.
