Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar yesterday lashed out at Shikhar Dhawan after the Indian opener's failure in the first Test against England at Edgbaston. Gavaskar is unhappy with Dhawan's approach in the longer format. The Delhi player scored 26 and 13 in the first Test at Birmingham. "Shikhar simply does not want to change his game," the legendary Indian batsman told Aaj Tak.

"He believes in playing in the same manner which has brought him success till now. You can still get away with such shots in one-day cricket because there aren't many slips and the push or the edge goes for a boundary through the slip cordon. "But in Tests, such shots will only result in a fall of wicket. Till a player makes a mental adjustment, he will continue to struggle against the red ball in overseas conditions."
