By India Today Web Desk: Dinesh Karthik feels that Ishan Kishan’s double hundred has left Shikhar Dhawan in a repair because the veteran opener struggled in the course of the collection.

Dhawan had a tour to overlook whereas Kishan made the quickest double hundred in ODI historical past towards Bangladesh on Saturday to stake his declare for the opening slot.

With the World Cup subsequent 12 months, Shubman Gill, Kishan and Dhawan are anticipated to battle it out for one of many opening slots. However, Karthik feels that Kishan’s good kind might go away the veteran opener in a repair.

Speaking to Cricbuzz, as quoted by Hindustan Times, the wicketkeeper mentioned that Dhawan might be disregarded for the Sri Lanka collection if Rohit Sharma is match.

“For Sri Lanka series, where does Dhawan stand? It is going to be interesting to see how they are going to leave out Ishan Kishan. Shubman Gill has been doing so well. If Rohit Sharma is available, somebody has to miss out. It could well be him (Dhawan). That could be a sad end to a glorious career. But some questions to answer for the new selectors,” said Karthik.

Karthik said that if Gill was in the squad for the Bangladesh series, he would have replaced Sharma in the 3rd ODI. The veteran wicketkeeper congratulated Kishan for making the most of his opportunity.

“Interestingly, if Shubman Gill had been part of the squad, he would have probably opened because he has been doing it for some time with aplomb. Ishan Kishan, given an opportunity, has taken it with both hands. This is going to put Shikhar Dhawan in a fix,” mentioned Karthik.

“It’s very good to see somebody popping out and being sincere with the truth that, ‘ what, I might have gotten a 300 if I had batted, however it didn’t occur’. Also exhibits his starvation. He has been strolling that skinny line with a number of of the keepers being a part of it and therefore not getting that chance. Now, he has pushed that door and mentioned, ‘I’m prepared. Are you going to take a look at me?'”
