In the first few matches, he could barely score 20–30 runs for Delhi Capitals. His strike rate was also low. In such a situation, along with social media, Cricket Experts also advised to feed Ajinkya Rahane in his place, but Shikhar rebounded, dismissing all these criticisms. The team's head coach Ricky Ponting has a big hand in this return of Shikhar Dhawan.
