When Virat Kohli almost became the reason for Shikhar Dhawan’s early retirement




New Delhi: He wears his heart on his sleeve; he has no fear of bowling attack and every time he hits a big score he displays a big smile and twirls his moustache.  You must know by now, that we are talking about Shikhar Dhawan who is turning out to be the ton-up man for Team India. 
With three centuries in successive international matches, the moustache-twirling opener is enjoying an incredible run. Several pundits, including the legendary  Kapil Dev, have been quick to hail Dhawan as the future of Indian batting.
However, there was a time when Dhawan wanted to leave the game after failing to make it to the national squad on numerous occasions, revealed his first coach Tarak Sinha.
"He was quite frustrated when his name wouldn't figure in the India squad. It hurt him the most when his junior Delhi teammate Virat Kohli was picked in the team ahead of him.
