Team India hopes for earliest recovery

India Team clearly wants dhawan to regain his fitness as they don’t want to lose such a great batsman of their team, if Dhawan gets better then he will be back into the team and if there’s no scope of improvement within the week then Rishabh Pant is all set to replace him.

Dhawan was the victor of India’s win over Australia with a rap of 117 off 109 deliveries. His injury had a massive impact for India, we hope he recovers soon and gets back to the field with all his energy and charm and wins every match along with his team.
