India, June 23 -- India to miss Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan's world cup dreams end in tears as his injury doesn't heal on time but cup of joy for Rishabh Pant who replaces the injured Indian opener. Dhawan scored a brilliant ton against Australia which helped India win against the Kangaroos and his services at the top order would be missed. It's really unfortunate Dhawan had to left out in these circumstances and truly 'bad luck' and destiny for Shikhar as world cup is played once in 4 yrs.

Rishabh Pant has been rewarded for his recent form as he seems to be in top gear. Dropped unceremoniously from the team but was destined to be back in the squad though I feel sorry as it is at the expense of Shikhar Dhawan who was stroking the ball...
