“It's more difficult nowadays because you've got new balls from both ends,” Dhawan said. “When the ball is swinging you really need to play close to your body.

“You’ll see that in the first 10 overs, openers are not scoring that many nowadays because the ball is new and it swings a lot and you have to be more careful.”
