Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are the two batting mainstays of India in limited overs cricket. The two have been very successful in the shorter formats and have scored plenty of runs.

With Indian team going through a transition, it is quite possible that the selectors want these players to take the responsibility of taking the team forward in this format too.
