India Tour of West Indies updates

Dhawan put together a hit Instagram reel with head coach Rahul Dravid
Shikhar Dhawan of India has already done something on the West Indies tour that not many people can say they’ve done: he put together a hit Instagram reel with head coach Rahul Dravid in it. Most of the team that is in the Caribbean for the three ODIs that start on Friday at Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain is on this team.
As important to Dhawan as winning on the field is “doing things together” and “sharing experiences” outside of it. In any case, India has had a lot of time to get to know each other since rain has kept them inside for most of the three days since they arrived.
According to Shikhar Dhawan:
Dhawan said before the first ODI, “I’m very excited.” “When I work with young people, I feel like I can share what I’ve learned with them. Everyone works on their skills, but I like to talk to them about their minds and how that affects their games.”
Dhawan is on his second full-time tour as captain. Last year, he worked with Dravid on a tour to Sri Lanka. India’s stand-in captain talked about how important it is for the dressing room to be full of life. “We’re very close,” he said. “Last year, we went to Sri Lanka and got along well there. There is an agreement, which is great. I think that my energy and nature bring us all together. The group gets closer because of how lively it is. There is always a lot of fun and laughter. We used to have dinners and activities as a team. Now, we do reels too. If people like it, that makes us happy, too (laughs)”.
Dhawan, on the other hand, didn’t worry about his form
In England, Dhawan got 1, 9, and 31*. His lack of success in the last two ODIs, especially, happened at the same time as India’s problems at the top of the order. After India won the series 2-1, Rohit Sharma, the team’s full-time captain, said that this was something the team needed to work on.
Dhawan, on the other hand, didn’t worry about his form or the talk from fans and the media that he was under pressure because there was more competition. Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, and even Shubman Gill are all possible openers for India in this group.
“People keep talking, I keep performing”, Dhawan said:
“I don’t feel strange because I’ve been hearing that for 10 years,” he laughed. “People keep talking, I keep performing. I wouldn’t be here if I had listened to them. Since I’ve done it before, I’m not too worried. So long as I look at myself and try to get better, nothing else matters “ I’m a really happy person.
“For me, positivity is about how much you believe in yourself and trust yourself. I have that because I have played for so long. Because I’ve done some good things, I’m here. This is the kind of optimism I want to teach young people “We want to create an atmosphere where we can trust each other and the result will take care of itself. International cricket does have pressure, but it’s not the kind of pressure that will change who I am or how I play. I believe in myself and the team a lot.”
