PERTH: Team India opener Shikhar Dhawan, who cracked a brilliant 74 off 44 balls in the T20 warm-up match against Western Australia XI yesterday, said his side is all set to give the Australians a tough time during the upcoming limited-overs series.
Dhawan along with his Delhi teammate Virat Kohli (74) helped India defeat the hosts by 74 runs at the WACA Ground here.
“It was a good time to get into the groove with another batsman and good to get a 100-run partnership before the main matches starts.
Whatever we needed out of this practice game, we got it, so we are happy about that,” Dhawan was quoted as saying by the Australia media.
“Of course we are quite pumped up and we are preparing well. We are just going to keep working hard and keep ourselves calm and focused for the matches to come.
Even if they were there still we would have still done what we have to do. We just focus on what we have to do and whatever we are going to face over the coming matches from their side, we are going to take it as it comes,” he added. (AGENCIES)
