"It doesn't matter to me. If it did, I wouldn't have been here today. Everyone has their own opinions, but I know my job and what I need to do. I have been doing this for so many years. I don't take a lot of tension after a couple of failures." said Dhawan

Team India opener Shikhar Dhawan said that he is not troubled by the criticism that he faces after almost every time he failed to score big in a couple of matches. Dhawan will become the seventh skipper to lead India this year during the three-match ODI series against the Men in Maroon.
The 36-year-old said that he wouldn't have been where he is today if he had let criticism affect his play. "I don't feel strange. Have been hearing it for 10 years now. They keep saying, I keep playing. It doesn't matter to me. If it did, I wouldn't have been here today. Everyone has their own opinions, but I know my job and what I need to do. I have been doing this for so many years. I don't take a lot of tension after a couple of failures. I self-analyze and look to improve. That's what matters to me," Dhawan said in a pre-match press conference.
