New Delhi, Feb 15 (PTI) Shikhar Dhawan finds himself out of the Indian team less than three months after captaining the ODI side but the 37-year-old opener has not yet given up on a strong desire to play the World Cup at home later this year.

One of the finest openers India have produced in the 50-over format, Dhawan was dropped from the side following a lean run which included the three games in Bangladesh in December. The southpaw had led the side in New Zealand in November when Rohit Sharma and K L Rahul were rested.

Shubman Gill came into the team at Dhawan’s expense and the young opener has not looked back ever since, amassing four hundreds, including a double hundred in his last seven innings.
