India in Sri Lanka: Shikhar Dhawan would want to seal his spot for T20 World Cup, says VVS Laxman

VVS Laxman feels India's limited-overs tour in Sri Lanka will be crucial for stand-in captain Shikhar Dhawan to make his case for the T20 World Cup.

Former Indian batsman VVS Laxman believes that stand-in captain Shikhar Dhawan will look to make his case for the upcoming T20 World Cup by scoring runs in India's white-ball series against Sri Lanka. "First thing, I think he is being rewarded for his consistent performance for the Indian Team, especially in white-ball cricket and he is the most experienced player in this squad. But Shikhar Dhawan will be very clear that he has to use this opportunity especially keeping in mind the T20 World Cup, there is so much stiff competition," Laxman said on Star Sports' show Game Plan.
