Used To Stand In Sun For Hours, To Bat For 10 Mins: Shikhar Dhawan Reflects On Early Career Struggles
“I started playing at a young age for a club, practiced for a year, and got to play a tournament after a year. For a year I used to perform various chores, like rolling the pitch, bringing tea for the coaches, and enduring long hours under the sun, all in the hopes of getting just 10 minutes to bat at the end of the day,” Dhawan told IANS.
These early sacrifices and hard work eventually paid off, propelling him to where he is today as an internationally renowned cricketer.
