After the series, the players will head to their state team to play in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Notably, only Mohammed Siraj from the team might still have a chance to make it to the 20-20 World Cup 2022 team. After all, the team is looking for a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah, who has been ruled out due to a back injury. At the moment, Mohammed Shami and Siraj are the front runners to replace Bumrah.
On the other hand, Dhawan also praised his team for doing well after trailing in the series by 0-1 after the Lucknow game. He said that the players took responsibility and showed maturity.
“I am proud of the boys, the way they played in the series. The way they carried the responsibility and showed maturity. Would like to thank the support staff. We showed a lot of character in the first game, we dropped a few catches, but we never really put pressure on ourselves. We tried to stick to the process. I am enjoying the journey, I’ll try to keep performing well for my team. The boys showed great character on such tough batting pitches. The bowlers were clinical today,” Dhawan said after the match.
