What did Chandravanshi say after missing a century against England?

Looking at Shikhar Dhawan's international career, it seems clear that he knows the right time to return and the right mantra. Whenever people predicted his cricket career to end, Dhawan silenced critics with his bat. The same happened in the first one day match between India and England.

India defeated England in the first match of the series. And Shikhar Dhawan was the hero of this victory. Dhawan, who scored 98 runs in the match, was also named Man of the Match. Earlier, Shikhar Dhawan was dropped from the team only after the first match of the T20I series. But for the ODI, Captain Kohli once again trusted Dhawan and Dhawan also lived up to his trust.

After becoming the man of the match, Dhawan said, 

'I am very happy with my performance and even more on my team's victory. I was having a good time at the gym and on the net. At the same time, I was completely focused on running as well. My smart work worked for me. We knew if the ball was swinging, then we would have to spend more and more time at the crease. And the ball has to be played near the body. '

Dhawan missed out on his 18th century after being dismissed on a personal score of 98 in the match. This is the fifth time in his career when he was out in the nervous nineties. Dhawan has not been able to score a century in ODIs since June 2015. Dhawan said on this,

'I am not a player who is very happy or sad. I was in no hurry to score a century, it was just a misfortune that the ball went straight into the hand. It happens. Will get a chance again. When I was out, I still used to think how to contribute for the team. I was a good 12th man.

Running from here to there, feeding water to the players. It was just in my mind that how should the team work. One thing was clear in my mind that the opportunity would definitely come and take full advantage of that opportunity. '

After Shikhar's return to form, the Indian team seems to be absolutely solid at the moment. However, a bad news in the meantime is that Shreyas Iyer has dropped out of the ODI series. It will be seen that who gives the management a chance in their place
