Shikhar’s flaws could spell trouble: Azhar

Former captain Mohammed Azharuddin reckons India’s opening woes will continue to create problems during next year’s cricket World Cup if Shikhar Dhawan fails to work on technical flaws that has crept into his batting. ‘I had observed Shikhar’s problem with short ball when he played for India in the Champions Trophy in England. There he scored runs and it was not noticed but I had an idea that this would create problems. Shikhar does not have the proper technique to play short ball. He has a flaw in his basic technique,’ Azharuddin said in an interview, adding, ‘Our opening partnership is of big concern. Since South Africa series, we have not got good starts. Opening will be major concern for India in next year’s WC.’
