India vs Sri Lanka: No competition for the opening slot – Shikhar Dhawan ahead of 1st ODI

Ahead of the 1st ODI versus Sri Lanka on Sunday, Shikhar Dhawan, India’s captain on the tour, has said that there was no competition in the team for the opening slot.

While Shikhar Dhawan is sure to open for India, it will be interesting to see who accompanies him when he walks out in the middle at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Indian team is spoiled for choices with Prithvi Shaw, Devdutt Padikkal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson also in the squad.

“I have interacted with all the younger colleagues, I have seen their nature and their skills in the nets. We guys have a great vibe in the team, it has been one month here. We are looking forward to tomorrow’s game,” Dhawan said during a virtual press conference.

“This series is important, any series we play for India is important. Even if there is no World Cup in the coming months or not, it does not matter. Every player wants to give his best.
