"If I Was Selector...": Shikhar Dhawan's Stunning Response On Shubman Gill Replacing Him In ODI Team

One of the finest opening batters India have had over the last 5-7 years, Shikhar Dhawan finds himself in an unfamiliar territory where he is no longer in the scheme of things in the Indian team in any of the three formats. While it's been a while since Dhawan had played T20Is or Tests for India, he still remained a vital cog in the ODI team. However, following a string of unimpressive performances for the national team in the 50-over format, Dhawan lost his place in the team in ODIs as well.

When it comes to the social media game, Indian cricketers often bring out their A-game. Current players like Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, Yuzvendra Chahal among others have often been part of social media trends with some fabulous creations.

Champions Trophy 2017 has been one of the most forgetful outings for Team India as they lost against arch-rivals Pakistan in the summit clash by 180 runs. Led by star batter Virat Kohli, Team India featured the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, MS Dhoni, and Jasprit Bumrah but miserably failed to clinch their second Champions Trophy title. On the other hand, Pakistan posted a whopping total of 338/4 in 50 overs after Fakhar Zaman smashed 114 off 106 balls. Later, Mohammad Amir and Hasan Ali scalped three wickets each and bundled out India for 158 to clinch their maiden title. Despite such a thrilling battle, one thing which became a major highlight of the day was the friendly meet of the players from both the teams at the Oval after the match.

"MS Dhoni Came To My Room And Said...": Veteran Pacer Recalls 'Lowest Moment' Of His Career

At the peak of his powers, Ishant Sharma could win matches on his own. Over the years, Ishant has done wonders in the teams he has played. But, as the professional career of a cricketer goes, Ishant has also had his fair share of ups and downs. Sharing the story of one such incident, Ishant recalled how he handled the 'lowest moment of his career' in 2013. It was the likes of MS Dhoni and Shikhar Dhawan who helped the lanky pacer recover from that 'absolute low'.

"Can Pull His Leg, Young Players Can't...": India Star On Camaraderie With Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has regained his golden touch and is back among runs. After a couple of years, where the former India captain went through a phase where he could not score centuries, Kohli has shown enough glimpses of being in form. Though he could not leave a big impact in the first Test against Australia, he will be expected to excel in the second Test in Delhi. Being his home-ground, the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is very close to Kohli's heart. It's the same for Shikhar Dhawan, Kohli's long-time teammate in the Indian cricket team and the Delhi state team.
