Shikhar Dhawan gave an interview in which he discussed the unveiling of India’s team for the ICC World Cup.
After the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) unveiled India’s roster for the forthcoming edition of the ICC World Cup on Tuesday, veteran Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan delivered a comment that caught the interest of many cricket fans across the world. India, which has won the One Day International (ODI) World Cup twice before, will be the host nation for the tournament for the first time since MS Dhoni and his teammates won the tournament in India in 2011.
India will look to end its trophy drought in ICC competitions under the direction of Rohit Sharma, who will serve as captain.
Dhawan was once thought to be an essential member of India’s leadership team, but during the year of the World Cup, his services were seen to be no longer required. Dhawan was relegated to a supporting role after the emergence of youthful openers Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan on the international stage. His lacklustre performance in one-day internationals was the final straw that led to his dismissal from the national team. Even though his average was only 34.40, Dhawan had a strike rate of 74.21 in the previous season.
Dhawan transmits a very important message to Rohit’s team.
Dhawan expressed his support for his former teammates in the national team on Tuesday, when India made the announcement that it will be sending a team to the World Cup. The 37-year-old shared a personal message on X (which was formerly known as Twitter), in which he expressed his confidence in Rohit and his team’s ability to win the World Cup on Indian soil. Congratulations to all of my teammates and friends who have been selected to compete for India in the World Cup 2023! You are the one who carries our goals and dreams, and you do so with the prayers and support of 1.5 billion people. We hope that you are successful and bring the cup back to show it to us. Team India, give it your all! The Indian cricketer tweeted with the hashtags #ChakDePhatte and #WorldCup. The comment posted by Dhawan went viral on social media almost immediately after it was posted.

The position of Rahul in India’s squad will not change.
KL Rahul, a dynamic hitter for India’s national team, has remained on the list despite the fact that he hasn’t participated in any international cricket matches since May. The batter for India was given the all-clear by doctors at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore not too long ago. When Rahul was selected to be part of India’s squad for the Asia Cup, the top batter was suffering from a minor injury.
