Not Sanju, another captain
At a time when India was sure to send a second-tier team to the Asian Games, there were reports that Malayalam player Sanju Samson might take the captaincy of the team. But now there are reports that senior batsman Shikhar Dhawa will be the captain of India in the tournament. Dhawan was dropped from the Indian team due to poor form. Dhawan has not been in the Indian team since playing in the one-day international against Bangladesh in December last year, so the news that Dhawan might return to the team in the Asian Games and take the captain’s place is a big surprise for the fans.
Dhawan has led India before
It is suggested that Sanju Samson was not considered for the captaincy of the team in the Asian Games as he is part of India’s World Cup plans. At the same time, Shikhar Dhawan is an experienced star who has led India many times before. He has captained India in 12 ODI matches so far, out of which the team won 7 matches, lost 3 matches and drew 2 matches. Dhawan led India in 3 matches in T20. One success and two failures are savings.
Golden chance for Dhawan
Until a few days ago, Shikhar Dhawan was an integral part of India’s ODI and T20 teams. But from last year, the star started losing his importance in the team. After Shubman Gill confirmed his place in the opening of the Indian team, the player was out. But with the World Cup around the corner, getting a chance to join the team in the Asian Games will be a big advantage for Shikhar Dhawan. If he can play well in the tournament, then Dhawan will get a chance to catch the attention of the selectors again and get into the World Cup squad as a replacement if someone gets injured.
India’s Potential Team in Asian Games
This year’s Asian Games will be held from September 23 to October 8. As the World Cup is coming, none of India’s senior players will be present in the Asian Games in the T20 format. Other players likely to make it to the squad which is expected to be captained by Shikhar Dhawan are: Ruturaj Gaekwad, Nitish Rana, Tilak Verma, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Jitesh Sharma, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dubey, Rahul Chahar, Deepak Chahar, Shivam Mavi, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi and Tusshar Deshpande. , Varun Chakraborty and Sai Sudarshan.
