Sri Lanka tour is important for Dhawan

Former Indian team batsman VVS Laxman believes that the limited overs series against Sri Lanka is very important for Shikhar Dhawan in view of the T20 World Cup. Laxman said, 'I think Dhawan should get the reward of performing in limited overs cricket. He is the most experienced player in the team. But Dhawan will have to take advantage of this opportunity considering the T20 world.

Rahul opens with Rohit

Laxman said, “The competition for a place in the team is tough because Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are there as openers. Virat Kohli has also said that he wants to open in the T20 format. In such a situation, Dhawan will have to score runs. Laxman said, “It is a pleasure to be the captain of the Indian team and everyone takes pride in leading the country. But one should always focus on scoring scores, which can secure a place in the team.

Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan said, 'Dhawan likes to have fun. Whenever you meet him, he is always smiling. Young players will love being with him. The first ODI between India and Sri Lanka will be played in Colombo on July 13.
