Shikhar Dhawan's career over?
Shikhar Dhawan's career over? BCCI announces new captain for Asian Games, creates ruckus
Asian Games Shikhar Dhawan: Team India has been announced for the Asian Games to be held in September but Shikhar Dhawan is out of the Indian team.
: The Indian men's team for the Asian Games has been announced. Let us tell you that the cricket tournament will be played from 19 to 28 September in the Asian Games. In such a situation, the BCCI has selected such players who will not be part of the World Cup team. Shikhar Dhawan's name is not among the players selected by BCCI for the Asian Games, which is surprising to the fans. Actually, it was expected that Dhawan would be given the captaincy of the Indian B team but this has not happened. Rituraj Gaikwad has been appointed captain in the Indian team selected for the Asian Games.
NEWS ????- Team India (Senior Men) squad for 19th Asian Games: Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rahul Tripathi, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Shivam Mavi, Shivam…

So are the doors open to be included in the World Cup squad?
Before selecting the team for the Asian Games, the BCCI had already said that due to the overlap of schedules, such players would be selected who would almost never be part of the World Cup team. In such a situation, Dhawan's non-selection in the Asian Games team is an indication that his name can be considered for the World Cup team as well. However, this is unlikely to happen. Because Team India has opener batsmen like Shubman Gill and Jaiswal who are ready to open with Rohit. Jaiswal can be included in the ODI team as an alternative opener.
So what ended Dhawan's career
By not including Dhawan in Team India for the Asian Games, the BCCI has made a big gesture regarding the career of the veteran cricketer. That is, now Dhawan is not only part of the team management's strategy for the 'India A Team' but also for the 'B Team'. India's Gabbar is currently out of all three formats of the Indian team. Dhawan last played a Test match for India in September 2018 and played an ODI in December 2022. Apart from this, he last played in T20 International in July 2021.
Dhawan's career so far
Dhawan has so far played 34 Test matches for India, in which he has scored 2315 runs, while he has played 167 matches in ODIs. Dhawan has 6793 runs in ODIs. At the same time, in T20 International, Dhawan has played 68 matches so far in his career and has managed to score a total of 1759 runs. Dhawan's name includes 7 centuries and 5 half-centuries in the test. In ODIs, Dhawan has scored 17 centuries and 39 half-centuries. Apart from this, Dhawan has 11 half-centuries in his name in T20.
fans upset
On social media, fans are continuously commenting on Dhawan not being selected for the team. Fans are angry with BCCI. Fans believe that Dhawan is still India's best batsman and he should have at least been in the Indian team selected for the Asian Games. Let us tell you that cricket was last played in the Asian Games in 2014 when India did not participate.

BCCI has not only announced Asian games squad but also has given a sort of statement that Shikhar Dhawan is no more in plan!
