In India TV's 'Cricket Dhamaka', the experts lauded DC's opening duo on its batting approach, and spoke significantly on Shaw's enormous improvement over the past few months.

Shikhar Dhawan, who scored 85 off 54 balls against CSK, said that he had already anticipated the bowling plans and field placements Dhoni's side would set for him.

Dhawan surpassed Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli en route to feat with his knock of 54-ball 85, laced with 10 boundaries and two sixes. 

While Dhawan will be in quarantine, the other DC players such as Ishant Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Umesh Yadav and leg-spinner Amit Mishra have been training at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) since March 30.

Former Indian spinner Sarandeep Singh India should stick to the experienced opening combination of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan in the T20 World Cup.

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan achieved the record during the final ODI against England on Sunday.

Dhawan has been a heavy scorer for Delhi Capitals in Indian Premier League, but his form in India jersey has been up and down.

Dhawan shrugged off the pressure in style as he notched up a well-constructed knock of 98 runs, painfully falling two runs short of his18th ODI century on Tuesday at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. 

The series is particularly important for the 35-year-old Dhawan, who failed to make an impact in the first T20 in Ahmedabad before warming the benches the remaining two games which India won.

The series will be particularly important for the 35-year-old left-handed batsman who failed to make an impact as an opener in the T20Is where he managed to get only one opportunity before being benched. 

The five-match T20I series between India and England will start from March 12, with all matches scheduled at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Since suffering stress fractures in his back in 2019, Hardik has rarely bowled. He was forced to bowl during the Australia ODIs at a time when his action was undergoing a change.

BCCI named a 19-man squad for the five-game series, which includes quite a few options for multiple skill sets and roles — at least two options for each role in the XI to be precise.

Sangwan, 30, captained Delhi to the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 title in the 2017/18 season. Batsman Himmat Singh will be vice-captain of the team.

Varanasi District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma told a news agency that action would be taken against the boatman but not the tourist after Dhawan was seen feeding a bird at the lake.

After a year marred with COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian sports fraternity is optimistic that a happy 2021 is in the reckoning.

Dhawan, in the past, has also acknowledged Dhoni for backing him in the 2013 Champions Trophy.

India speedster Ishant Sharma, who missed the ongoing tour of Australia due to side strain suffered during the Indian Premier League, has also been named in the squad.

Ishant was forced to miss the Australia tour due to side strain suffered during the IPL. 

Wade almost pulled off a magical stumping but Dhawan got his foot down just in time to deny him the dismissal
