Overview
- Dhawan, in an interview published Thursday by PTI, said playing only one international format can disrupt a batter’s flow.
- He expressed confidence that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will manage the challenge, citing their experience and fitness, noting Rohit’s transformation and Kohli’s consistent standards.
- He said an ODI-heavy schedule leading up to the 2027 World Cup should give the pair enough games to regain or keep rhythm.
- Recent numbers support his case, with Rohit scoring 650 runs in 14 ODIs at an average of 50 and Kohli 651 in 13 at 65.10 in the recent period reported.
- He warned that players raised in T20 cricket must adjust their tempo and decision-making for 50-over innings, which he said comes through match practice and a shift in mindset.
