Kolkata: Their understanding of each other’s game improving with every match, opener Shikhar Dhawan said Sunday that he and Rohit Sharma would look to not just emulate but surpass the success of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar-Sourav Ganguly pair.
“Me and Rohit have been opening for a long time. We understand each other very well, we know each other’s nature. I know what he likes to do in the middle. We are quite comfortable with each other,” Dhawan told the media here.
“The way Sachin and Sourav had a long career in opening the innings, we can also have that in time. Maybe we can break more records. It’s surely going to benefit both of us as well as the country,” Dhawan added.
Speaking about his own game, Dhawan said he is in a good space having done well in the recent series against both Australia and Sri Lanka.
“I am enjoying that I am scoring runs at the moment. Looking forward to continue in the same way and do better in the Asia Cup. I want to continue stretching that good form till the time I can… may be till the final of the T20 Worlds,” the southpaw said with a smile.
“It’s a journey, getting more experience and mature with time. I have seen the bad patches and they have helped me mature. I am starting to know my game better and I have full faith in my abilities,” Dhawan asserted. PTI
