The ace player of the Indian cricket team, Shikhar Dhawan, was not included in the Indian team for the upcoming ODI series against the country Sri Lanka. It is a three-match series that will be played from January 10 to 15. And the Indian squad includes first-team regulars, including captain and Dhawan’s long-time opening partner Rohit Sharma.

After that, Shikhar Dhawan shared a video of himself with a very emotional caption as soon as the team news broke out. However, the cricketer later deleted the post. The cricketer shared the post with a caption in Punjabi: “It is not about winning or losing; it is all about your guts. Keep working hard and leave the rest in the hands of God.”

While many players and experts were surprised by this decision as Shikhar has been leading the Indian team in ODI’s when Rohit and vice-captain Rahul were not there. And in relation to the former Indian pacer, Dodda Ganesh took the web after the team announcement and called out Shikhar Dhawan’s absence, “really unfortunate.”

Also, he tweeted, “Does this mean it’s the end of the road for Shikhar Dhawan as an international cricketer? He was a mighty-fine ODI batter and won many games and tournaments in India. So it’s really unfortunate if his career ends in this fashion.” At the same time, another important player in the team is Rishabh Pant. Also, Suryakumar Yadav will replace Pant as Hardik’s deputy in the T20Is.
