    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, May 14: <\/strong>Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan opened up regarding his move from Indian Premier League side Sunrisers Hyderabad to Delhi Capitals prior to the 2019 edition of the cash-rich tournament. Dhawan spoke about various things, both on and off the field, during an Instagram live video session with former India cricketer Irfan Pathan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In normal circumstances, Dhawan would&#39;ve been currently playing for Delhi in the 13th edition of the IPL but due to coronavirus pandemic, it has been postponed by BCCI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dhawan spoke about his nervousness at the prospect of retuning to Delhi, who were struggling at the wrong half of the table, but stated he took it as a challenge after spending eight years in Hyderabad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It was a big challenge for me.. I was a bit nervous as well that I was joining a new team. I was at Sunrisers Hyderabad for eight years and was one of their top performers. I scored in excess of 500 runs in multiple IPLs,&quot; Dhawan said during the Instagram live.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;So to go to a new team like Delhi who were at the bottom half of the table, it was a big challenge. I took it in my stride and my experience of playing at the top level helped me as to how to go about things. Experience helps a person find the right solution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I think I needed that change and I loved the support staff and the young team and I think I was the senior most player in the team (when I joined the team),&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Irfan also asked a few rapid-fire questions which the southpaw handled in his typical style. He was asked to pick his favourite batting partner and also his favourite skipper.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;(Best batting partner) Rohit Sharma... I have only played under Virat and Dhoni, so as of now, Dhoni bhai,&quot; Dhawan told Irfan.<\/p>\r\n",
