Shikhar Dhawan injured, Players who can replace Gabbar in team India world cup squad
This is surely a big shock to team India's mission world cup and after making a century against Australia, Shikhar Dhawan has ruled out of World Cup 2019. He will be on rest for next three weeks but the injured thumb is fractured and that's why it looks like that his comeback in the World Cup is tough. The question that has raised now which player will take Shikhar Dhawan's place in the team.
Question is that who will open with Rohit Sharma for team India's batting or either the number four place is once again on thinktank. Let us tell you that as soon Shikhar Dhawan ruled out of world cup, if you look at the combination of the team then KL Rahul is the only option India has for the opening position.
In that case, Dinesh Karthik, Vijay Shankar and Kedar Jadhav can be seen on the fourth place. Currently, Kedar Jadhav is playing on the sixth position of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Vijay Shankar is totally new to the World Cup experience so in that case, it is difficult for him to be a part of the playing XI. Now there are three players who can join team India for the World Cup squad.
