But in the last few years, Rohit Sharma has become a pair with KL Rahul. In such a situation, the selectors started pushing Shikhar Dhawan on the margins. Now Shikhar Dhawan’s return to the team seems impossible.

Dhawan has scored 2315 runs in 34 Test matches, 6284 runs in 149 ODIs, and 1759 runs in 68 T20 matches for Team India. He has been running out of the Test team for the last four years. His form kept coming.
