Shikhar Dhawan Reveals His Childhood Cricket Heroes

If there is any country in the world that worships a sport like cricket as their religion then India stands first in that list. There are a massive number of youngsters coming through the ranks day in and day out and one of the major reasons for that is the inspiration they get from the superstars of the game.

The world cup triumph of 1983 played a major role in reinventing the passion for cricket in India and as a matter of fact, the master blaster in Sachin Tendulkar got inspired to play cricket after seeing the iconic image of Kapil Dev lifting the trophy at Lord’s cricket ground.

Fighting for his survival

The southpaw is now an experienced player by any means. He has been playing the top level cricket for over 10 years now and has played all the formats of the game. Although he has faded away in whites sooner than expected because of his poor outings in the overseas tours, he is still a very much champion player in the limited overs format.

The Delhi born player who is now settled in Australia is not getting any younger which obviously puts his place in the team under the scanner as there is a massive talent pool waiting in the wings to grab his place. He will be watched carefully by the team management and the champion player will have to be at his best whenever he steps onto the field from here on.
