"So, it was better that he had the practice during the Zimbabwe tour."

"I was not hurt. I feel that whatever happens, happens for the best. I was then selected as the captain for the South Africa series, the selectors and the team management gave me that opportunity. I never feel bad," he added.

Dhawan is a veteran in the ODI, he has scored 6672 runs and played 161 ODI matches.  He knows that the margin for error is minimal as far as he is concerned.

Though Dhawan has no complaints and feels grateful for the opportunity he has got, the Cricket Board has been unfair to the veteran cricketer. The kind of experience he holds would be beneficial for the Indian cricket team which hasn’t been doing the best in recent matches.
