In the upcoming limited-overs series against Sri Lanka, Shikhar Dhawan has been given the opportunity to lead the side. This is happening after a long time that a single team is playing at two different venues. With Virat Kohli & Co. are in England for the all-important 5-match Test series, the tour of Sri Lanka is heavily relying on Indian rising stars, this time under the guidance of everyone’s favourite Rahul Dravid. BCCI has named the squad that include some young guns who showed their impressive talent in the last couple of years. The Legend Rahul Dravid has been appointed as the head coach for the Sri Lanka tour and Gabbar is all set to lead on an international front for the very first time.

There are some experienced players as well apart from Dhawan who could have been appointed as captains like Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Manish Pandey. All three of them are pretty much experienced, Bhuvi has led Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL and Manish Pandey has been captaining his domestic team for the past few years. Also, Hardik has a great cricketing mind as we have seen him getting involved in the small on-ground meetings with the captains. But, Dhawan has the best of experience amongst all. A charming and always smiling person like him will surely be a great thing to the side.

With the guidance of the legend, Dhawan and his team will learn a lot from this tour. This tour will be a great opportunity for all the youngsters to perform extraordinarily and leave their mark. The experienced will also take a lot from these six games as the international teams are heading towards the T20 World Cup. Gabbar will look forward to leading the team and getting some positive results which might help him in future. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for Rahul Dravid to prove his worth as a senior team coach.
