don’t be a burden to the team
When Dhawan was asked about these figures, he said, “I am a calm and mature person. This performance reflects my experience. I have a very strong understanding of the game and have worked hard to improve my technique. Understanding a format is also very important. I understand the requirements of the ODI format and it has helped me a lot.
Advantages of playing one format
When the popularity of T20 format has increased a lot all over the world and there has been a decrease in the organization of ODI series. In such a situation, when asked about playing only one format, Dhawan said, ‘I have never been disappointed about this. I don’t like to think about these things that I am playing in just one format at the international level. I look at it in a way that I get to play in two or three months and that helps me stay fresh.
It is important for Dhawan to value what he has instead of gloating over what he doesn’t have. He said, ‘I am happy with what I get. For India, if I am playing in one format, I try to give my everything in that format. I am a positive thinking person. You will not find any negativity in me.
how to keep yourself fit
Dhawan said that his fitness is getting better with age. He said, ‘I am 36 years old and much more fit than before. I have improved myself by doing physical workout with gym, yoga, running. Dhawan, who has scored 6500 runs in 155 ODIs for the country, will now lead the Indian team on the tour of Zimbabwe. Asked about the team’s leadership, he said, “As a captain, I believe in my bowlers and their first priority.” I follow plans. At the top level everyone is a professional and everyone is aware of their responsibility. If the bowlers’ plan doesn’t work then obviously we have another plan.
