Shikhar Dhawan has had a tough year when it comes to staying fit. His World Cup dreams came to an end during India's league match against Australia after he had fractured his thumb. Dhawan who had returned back to action in July struggled to find form and just a few months later a knee injury while playing domestic cricket ruled him out of the ongoing limited-overs series against West Indies. Meanwhile, 'Gabbar' has announced that he might be all set to get back in action soon.

Brad Hogg Boldly claims that KL Rahul has ended Shikhar Dhawan's T20I career

Recently, former Australian spinner Brad Hogg had taken to social media and boldly claimed that KL Rahul's consistent performances in the shortest format might have shut the door for Shikhar Dhawan in T20 International cricket. Ahead of next year's T20 World Cup, India will look to solidify their squad and Rahul's consistency makes him a much better prospect for the opening slot. Shikhar Dhawan has had a very lackluster run in the T20I format for India and KL Rahul, on the other hand, has been a fantastic performer. Here is Hogg's tweet.
