I was batting well in England but wasn’t getting runs: Shikhar Dhawan

“It wasn’t a question of form, I was batting well but wasn’t getting runs. Great to get runs also. We have won so many series in the last four years and we have also lost some. We are humans. The concern should not be such that everything else, all the good results are forgotten.

Some failures should not overshadow all the wins. Just look at (Ambati) Rayudu, he was so good, and he was playing after such a long time. So, it’s good,” Dhawan was quoted as saying in Times Now.

 

After India put on 285 runs for the loss of seven wickets, the likes of Anshuman Rath and Nizakat Khan put on 174 runs for the first wicket and kept India at bay. The pacers, especially Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shardul Thakur strained to find their feet. In the meantime, Dhawan also backed them and admitted that India didn’t expect Rath and Nizakat to build such a stand.

“We didn’t expect for them to score 170-run partnership but they played well. We could have been more consistent in our bowling but we have to give credit to their batsmen, the openers played well. They were calculative, have to appreciate that.

There wasn’t much swing or seam in the wicket and our bowlers were coming after a break. It takes time to get into the rhythm as well. Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) was coming back after a break and Shardul (Thakur) hadn’t played much in England,” he added.

he is not wrong.  he did look good in some of the innings like first test ist innings, we had a partnership of 50 and there were some either innings where he did look good for more but could not. 
It's worse he gets out after being settled.More than technique he lacks concentration.

You are right Mr.Dhawan you were not out of form.The problem with you Mr Dhawan is you are not suited to play test cricket in SENA countries. You have no footwork or technique to survive even minimal movement.

 

It is not your fault you had to play test cricket in England and SA, it is our misfortune that our selectors have no clue to indentify proper players.

 

You keep twirling your moustache away with gay abandon.:phehe:

yes, he does not belong to that level.  Irrespective of how good you are batting in those conditions, slight hiccup in your concentration and you are gone.  You can get away with that in SC conditions.
