He might have been appointed captain for the upcoming white ball series in Sri Lanka but senior opener Shikhar Dhawan, just like other rookies will also be auditioning for reserve opener’s slot in the Indian T20 World Cup side, feels former Test legend V.V.S. Laxman. While Dhawan has been a certainty in the 50-over format, he hasn’t really been a regular feature in the T20 national sides but back-to-back IPL performances has brought him back in the reckoning to get a slot alongside K.L. Rahul and Rohit Sharma. “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.
