Shikhar Dhawan Opens On Ego Clashes In Indian Cricket Team
Lots and lots of unconfirmed rumours regarding ego clashes have been reported among the Indian cricket team. Ranging from Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, Saurabh and Dravid, Dhoni and Sehwag and Rohit and Kohli, a lot of unconfirmed clashes have been reported among the media.
In an interview with the media, Dhawan opened up on the issue of ego clashes in the national team and says: “It’s a very human and normal thing to have egos. We are together for (almost) 220 days. Sometimes there are misunderstandings between people. It’s the same with us as well. I am not speaking about Rohit (Sharma) or Virat (Kohli), but a general thing”.
“We have a 40-member team, which includes support staff and managers. There could be some clashes and times when you are not happy with someone. It happens. And why not? When things improve, the love also increases”, he added.
Dhawan Praises Gill
The veteran cricketer also praised young opener Shubman Gill, who replaced him in the Indian ODI squad. He stated: “I am not looking at this as a high or low. It’s a natural phase. Every career has a shelf life. Shubman Gill has replaced me now and is performing really well. I did not do well in a couple of series.
“In the last couple of years, I was playing only one format and Shubman was playing the other two formats. He was in better flow since he was continuously playing in the Indian team. That’s why he got an entry into the ODI team. The decision (of the selectors) was a very good one. Gill is doing very well and I am very happy for him.”
Shikhar Dhawan is currently out of the Indian cricket team and will be seen in action in the upcoming IPL 2023 where he will lead the Punjab Kings.
