He is back home and India opener Shikhar Dhawan is looking to make it a season worth remembering for the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League. While the team has failed to rise to the challenge in the last couple of seasons, finishing at the bottom of the table, it has rejigged the squad and brought in a good mix of youth and experience.

While Dhawan was brought in to cement the batting at the top, before the auction, the likes of Ishant Sharma was brought in the auction to add to the experience in the bowling unit. And Dhawan believes that this team can go the full distance and win the trophy.

“I am looking forward to starting the season with a bang. Feels good to be back home after a long time and when it comes to cricket, we have a very good bunch of boys, a balanced side. Things have changed and I feel that change is good. We have a great support staff and I think we are in the right mindset which is very important.

“The way we are preparing, we are doing a lot of hardwork as well as smart work and I believe we are going to do well this season,” he smiled.
