Plagued by injuries in 2019, opener Shikhar Dhawan is aiming for a fresh start in the new year and wants to become a \u201cmore impactful\u201d batsman in his quest to help India lift the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia. Dhawan did not have a very good 2019 as he was in and out of the team because of injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The left-handed opener was ruled out midway from last year\u2019s ICC ODI World Cup after sustaining a thumb fracture. Injuries continued to haunt Dhawan as he missed the home T20 series against the West Indies in December after hurting his knee during a Ranji Trophy match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLast year I had lots of injuries but that\u2019s part and parcel of our work. It\u2019s a new year and I am looking forward for a new start and it\u2019s gonna go a long way . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ICC T20 World Cup will be hosted by Australia from October 18 to November 15 this year. Asked how difficult it was for him to be in and out of the team, the 34-year-old dasher from Delhi said: \u201cI am always positive, I always take things in a positive manner.
\nDhawan, who is back in the Indian team for the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka, believes the ongoing rubber is a great opportunity for him to be back among runs. \u201cI am really looking forward to this series. It\u2019s a good opportunity for me to come and express myself and score big runs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
