New Delhi: India opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan said his ability to deal with the "inevitable failure" has helped him immensely in his five-year-old international career.

"Now I am seen as a successful cricketer but the fact is that I have had more failure than success. You are bound to undergo hardships and it has been no different for me. I have played about 60 odd games (ODIs) and scored only eight hundreds. A lot of the guys worry about their form, for me it is just about being persistent and patient," Dhawan told PTI here yesterday.
