I made a conscious effort to bring up my strike rate: Shikhar Dhawan

He talked about the ‘conscious efforts’ he put in to improve his strike rate over the years.

“Prithvi was playing amazing, was lovely to watch it from the other end. We were getting so many runs; I didn’t think of taking too many risks and played according to the game situation. I don’t have to compare, I just have to play my role according to the situation and that’s what I did,” Dhawan said.

“I made a conscious effort to bring up my strike rate because I knew that this game needed that and I as an opener had to take those risks. At the same time, smart enough to know when to take risks and when not to.

“Like today, there was no need for me to take any risk; Prithvi was playing totally on a different level. It was lovely to watch him as well. I enjoy taking smart risks and trying something new as well,” he added.
