When asked about being dropped from T20Is, Shikhar Dhawan has a brilliant answer.

India vs. England: After the match, former India fast bowler Ajit Agarkar asked Dhawan how he felt about being dropped in T20Is, to which the India opening batsman replied with a gem.

Shikhar Dhawan has proved that he is already one of India's best opening batsmen with two half-centuries in three innings. Dhawan was dropped from India's Test team later in 2018, but he remains a power to be reckoned with in limited-overs forms. Dhawan is only 23 runs away from reaching 6000 runs for India in ODIs, and he has created one of India's best opening pairs of all time with Rohit Sharma. Dhawan and Rohit are second only to Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly's pair in terms of most runs by an Indian pair.

In the T20Is, however, Dhawan's position has been questioned. Virat Kohli said before the start of the England T20Is that Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will open for India, but Dhawan ended up opening instead, and Rohit was later revealed to have been rested for the first two games.

After scoring four times in the first T20I against England, Dhawan was dropped for the remaining four games. However, in the One-Day Internationals, Dhawan shone with a 98 in the first game, assisting India in putting up a match-winning total. In the second ODI, he scored 4 off 17 balls, but in the decider, he struck 67 and led India to a 100-run partnership for the first wicket.

After the match, former India fast bowler Ajit Agarkar asked Dhawan how he felt about being dropped in T20Is, to which the India opening batsman replied with a gem. Dhawan laughed it off, saying, "I was always in the mood, it's just that I wasn't playing."

Between the end of the limited-overs leg in Australia and the start of the T20Is in England, Dhawan returned to Delhi to play in the Syed Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare Trophies, where he scored 153 against Maharashtra despite three ducks. Dhawan said he appreciated his latest appearances for India, acknowledging that the decks in the last two matches were to his taste.

"I took advantage of the opportunity as soon as I had it. That was match practise for me, as I was playing domestic cricket with Syed Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare. I'm happy I got to participate in those tournaments. The pitch was excellent, especially in the last two games, and I enjoy playing on such bouncy surfaces "he said
