Team India opener Shikhar Dhawan said that he is not troubled by the criticism that he faces after almost every time he failed to score big in a couple of matches. Dhawan will become the seventh skipper to lead India this year during the three-match ODI series against the Men in Maroon. 

The 36-year-old said that he wouldn`t have been where he is today if he had let criticism affect his play. "I don`t feel strange. Have been hearing it for 10 years now. They keep saying, I keep playing. It doesn`t matter to me. If it did, I wouldn`t have been here today. Everyone has their own opinions, but I know my job and what I need to do. I have been doing this for so many years. I don`t take a lot of tension after a couple of failures. I self-analyze and look to improve. That`s what matters to me," Dhawan said in a pre-match press conference.
