“Shikhar, how tough is it to play a crew like Zimbabwe at this second… who’ve been struggling for an extended interval. They have not even performed a lot towards the Indian crew. Do you count on to beat a crew like Zimbabwe,” the reporter requested.
Dhawan was greatly surprised by the query and he responded: “Ah, I did not get it. Are you able to repeat? I could not perceive your accent, sir”.
His response drew a laughter from everybody current contained in the press field.
