Shikhar Dhawan, India’s original stand-in captain for the ODI series against Zimbabwe, may have been demoted to serving as KL Rahul’s deputy, but he remains upbeat ahead of the series opener on Thursday. Dhawan spoke confidently at one of India’s pre-match press conferences, but was taken aback by a question from a reporter. Dhawan couldn’t understand the question because he couldn’t understand the reporter’s accent.
“Shikhar, how difficult is it to play a team like Zimbabwe at this moment… who have been struggling for a long period. They haven’t even played much against the Indian team. Do you expect to beat a team like Zimbabwe,” the reporter asked. To which Dhawan replied: “Ah, I didn’t get it. Can you repeat? I couldn’t understand your accent, sir”. The comment lightened up the atmosphere in the press conference as everyone burst out in a bit of a laughter.
