Shikhar Dhawan Posts Heartfelt Message After World Cup Snub: Go All ut, Team India

Shikhar Dhawan, a seasoned Indian opener, published an emotional social media post following his exclusion from India’s 15-man roster for the ICC World Cup 2023. Dhawan thanked his teammates for being selected to represent India in the 2023 World Cup. He also offered his prayers and support to the team, urging them to bring the trophy back and uphold the honor of their country.

Congratulations to my fellow teammates & friends chosen to represent India in the WC 2023 tournament! With the prayers and support of 1.5 billion people, you carry our hopes and dreams. May you bring the cup back home and make us proud! Go all out, Team India! #ChakDePhatte #WorldCup,” Dhawan tweeted.

The tentative 15-man roster for the ICC World Cup 2023 was unveiled by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday (5th October). Shikhar Dhawan, who hasn’t played an ODI since December of last year, was passed over by the selectors despite having an outstanding record in ICC competitions.

Shikhar Dhawan was removed from the lineup as a result of his subpar one-day international performance. He made his final appearance for the team against Bangladesh in December 2022. He was dropped after averaging in the 20s, and Shubman Gill took his position on the team. The young player took a gamble and made the starting XI.

Shikhar Dhawan will, however, be missing from an ICC 50-overs match for the first time in the past ten years. In eight innings over two ICC One-Day International World Cups (in 2015 and 2019), Dhawan has scored 537 runs. His average increases from 44.11 to 53.70 during ODI World Cups. In these eight games, the Southpaw has three centuries and one fifty. Dhawan averages 50 or more runs every three innings throughout his career, but at the ODI World Cup, he scores at least 50 runs every other inning.
