Shikhar Dhawan who smashed a century for Delhi Capitals in their last IPL 2020 match, has completed 10 years of playing for the Indian national cricket team. Dhawan ahead of the next match of Delhi Capitals shared his thoughts on the same on his Twitter account.
Gabbar completes 10 years
Shikhar Dhawan, famously called “Gabbar” has been an important member of the Indian national cricket team over last few years. Especially when it comes to limited-overs cricket, excluding Dhawan is never an option. In fact, in the last World Cup in the United Kingdom, once Dhawan left the tournament due to injury, the Indian national cricket team seemed to have lost all its balance and never recovered.
