Future of Shikhar Dhawan in test cricket

[Temujin Khaghan]

Dhawan has been dropped mid-way in his last 3 overseas test series in fast bowling conditions (SA, Oz, NZ, Eng) 

... England 2014, Australia 2014, South Africa 2018

do you think kohli will pick him in the squad to England later this year?

 

P.S - I dont even want to discuss about Rohit Sharma the test batsman...

I actually feel that Dhawan would have come good in the 2nd test match as that pitch was like a subcontinent one.

 

In England, we might get similar type of pitch in 1 or 2 games. It is for the team management and virat to see which type of pitch will suit his batting. This is what they got wrong in last two tests. 

[Lannister]

He resembles more like Dhoni with his batting, never really suited to bat on tough pitches. He can still do merry on flat tracks, but this is not the kind of players Indian team should be looking into. Support right players and you will get your result, like the last Test match. 

[SandeepMotta]

Should be no where near the Indian team, even for the ODIs rahul would be better over him.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Indian team good future and shikhar dhawan future doesnt go in same sentence 

[Dada's Army]

As long Rahul can't see the ball and Vijay is not performing consistently, Dhawan will be in the team or thereabouts.

I will play Dhawan all day in ODI’s since he delivers in ICC games all the time. He has been our best bat many times in ODI’s. 

 

Regarding test, I will do the opposite and play others over him most times.

 

Lets not mix ODI and test. I would keep Rahane out of ODI’s similarly but would play him over any other new guy in test matches any day as he is better than most in the world.

[vvvslaxman]

Keep him in shorter formats and low bounce wickets. If there is some exaggerated bounce he is going to succumb to it. He just looks awkward against bounce.

Dhawan is damn good odi player ,In test he has to sort his short ball issue .K.l Rahul for a opener is too loose outside off stump .Vijay is on his last legs .We need a settled pair I would open with Rahane in England.

Test career should be over

Agree with everything barring the last part about Rahanr as opener. He is fine at where he is. If Pujara ever doesn’t bat at 3, only then I will move him to 3. For opener, either current openers play or we find another opener, Rahane shouldn’t be asked to open.

Rahane has issues against spin .He has batted at no 3 for Mumbai.he has to open otherwise he will again loose his place at home

Yaar home test series are far far away.  We will worry about it when they come, for time being or next 9 test matches are away - In south afica and England where we will be battling against the fast bowlers more than spinners, so it doesn’t make sense dor Rahane or team mangement to start worrying about his spin game.

Last time Moeen Ali destroyed us in England.Pitches in England take turn.Rahane best bet is to open.

Dhawan is an ATG ODI opener, even better than Kohli because of his freakish record in ICC tournaments. Rahul has a place in all formats, in ODIs he should play in the middle order. 

[Lannister]

This guy is a failure in Test cricket. No point in continuing with him. 

[Rightarmfast]

/\ Exactly what I had said earlier too. Dhawan is good in subcontinent. We are wasting a position giving him a chance.

How many runs did this dumbo cost us again?

Probably 75 atleast @Gollum

 

Why bother about runs? 

 

He cost us the match itself most likely.
