Shikhar Dhawan, the out-of-favour India opener, thinks Suryakumar Yadav ought to be selected for India’s No.4 berth at the World Cup due to his performance and experience in international cricket. Dhawan further emphasised the team’s excellent chances in the competition due to a good mix of youth and experience, as well as the benefit of playing at home.

Prior to the World Cup, the number four slot within the Indian ODI squad will be up for grabs because of the lack of clarity on Shreyas Iyer’s availability for the World Cup. The front-runners are Suryakumar Yadav as well as Sanju Samson, however, R Ashwin thinks rookie batsman Tilak Varma may also be a fine option.

We will have the home advantage: Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan spoke to PTI during an exclusive conversation and said that “I would go with Surya at four as he is an experienced player and has been playing international cricket for a while. Also, really looking forward to seeing how Shubman Gill does in the World Cup. Another batter to watch out for will be Rohit Sharma as he did exceptionally well in the last World Cup.”

The Punjab Kings skipper then spoke about the Indian team’s chances for the upcoming ODI World Cup at home. He said, “We have got a very good side which has the right blend of experience and youth. We will have the home advantage. We know the grounds and pitches and that is going to come in very handy.”

Due to his absence from the Indian team since December 2022, Dhawan now has a lot more free time. He spends a lot of time working on his business endeavours, which are all part of the Da One Group, in addition to improving his health and game. 

He said, “It is important to be productive. We live quite a high-paced life, especially when you are playing all formats like I used to at one point. Now I have enough time, so I keep myself involved with my business interests.”
