14th September (CRICKETNMORE) - Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan believes competion is good for Indian cricket. The left handed opener will have to fight it out with the in-form KL Rahul and a solid Murali Vijay for one of the opening slots in the playing XI of the Test team but Dhawan terms the competition as “good for Indian cricket” and finds “nothing wrong with it”.
“I am aware that there could be three players for two (opening) spots. But there is nothing wrong in it. In fact it is good for Indian cricket. To have healthy competitions among players for places in the team is good for Indian cricket and the game in general. Rahul has done well in the recent past — not only in the Test matches but also in T20 cricket,” Dhawan told reporters after the Duleep Trophy final here on Wednesday.

Dhawan said that it’s always disappointing to be dropped from the playing XI but it also acts as a motivation for a comeback. Dhawan was dropped for the fourth Test against West Indies at Port of Spain.
“I definitely feel sad but that only act as a motivation. When I was out of India’s T20 team, I did feel sad but at the same time got tremendous motivation within myself to do well and come back in the team,” Dhawan said.
