Former India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan credited his success to Dilip Vengsarkar and Sandeep Patil for their crucial selections. Patil insisted on Dhawan's inclusion in the 2013 Mohali Test, resulting in a memorable debut century. Earlier, Vengsarkar pushed for Dhawan's inclusion in the 2004 Under-19 World Cup, where he excelled as the highest run-getter.
