VVS Laxman, Irfan Pathan feel Shikhar Dhawan will be 'excited' for leadership role

Former Team India all-rounder Irfan Pathan spoke on how Shikhar Dhawan will be excited for the leadership role, "He is a very fun-loving guy. Whenever you meet him, he is always laughing, very cheerful. The youngsters will be very comfortable around him. And I think, as a leader, he will have a point to prove – not to anyone, but for himself. Because last time he was leading an IPL side, that was not a very fruitful move for him, but that was so many years ago. So, if any senior guy wants to do something, he needs to convince himself – more than trying to prove a point to anyone else. So, he will be really excited for leadership, but at the same time, he will be looking forward to not only perform but also sharing his experience with all the youngsters."
