Even though Kohli wasn’t the team’s most experienced player, everyone knew he would take over as captain the moment Dhoni decided to step down. Dhawan was Kohli’s superior in the Indian team both in terms of age and experience.
The left-hander was questioned about playing for his junior Kohli and how he differed from his predecessor, Dhoni during an interview.
Dhawan believes that players with large egos are affected by these problems. They become jealous of other players’ successes if they bring their ego to situations like these.
The 37-year-old insisted once more that he never allows his ego to dictate terms because doing so is idle speculation that he doesn’t agree with.
Ego par le loge to wrestle ayegi hi ayegi. Yes, that is ego’s bagat aagayi. (It doesn’t work like that. It will harm you if you take it personally. So it comes down to ego, doesn’t it?
If I keep acting like I’m a senior and playing below him. Ego will then appear. It all seems like wishful thinking to me. And it’s unnecessary to have that. It serves no purpose, Dhawan informed Lallantop.
Virat is one of my close friends. We get along well and always enjoy a little friendly banter. He represents Team India as a senior player. Young players can’t pull his leg like I can. He is a key figure. Since we first started playing, we have exuded humor and camaraderie, he continued.
