Shikhar Dhawan might not have been picked in India's 15-member squad for ODI World Cup 2023 but his special post for Team India is winning hearts.
Dhawan tweeted to congratulate his fellow team mates & friends chosen to represent India in the upcoming quadrennial tournament at home.
'With the prayers and support of 1.5 billion people, you carry our hopes and dreams. May you bring the cup back home and make us proud! Go all out, Team India!' the Southpaw wrote.
37-year-old Dhawan had previously expressed his desire to play the ODI World Cup but his name didn't feature in the list.
With age not by his side, this was probably the last chance for the opening batter from Delhi to represent India in a World Cup.
