For this reason, it is believed that Shikhar Dhawan failed to make a comeback in the ODI team. If seen that way, Shikhar Dhawan has been able to score only 49 runs in the last 5 matches. His scores were 3, 8, 7 in the three matches against Bangladesh. Apart from this, Shikhar Dhawan has turned 37 years old. Age can also play an important role in getting him out of the team. However, it is also true that Shikhar Dhawan is currently not doing well with the bat due to which he has been kept out of the ODI team.
