Winning ODI series in England is a huge confidence booster: Dhawan

"It is very important. We are playing the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and six months before that, winning an ODI series in England so comprehensively, is a huge confidence booster. It is all the more special given how we bounced back from the disappointing Test series. What I will take back from here is the way the entire team stuck together despite what we went through. We stood by each other every single moment and helped each other move on. I am proud of these boys," Dhawan was quoted as saying to the   BCCI.TV .

He said the appointment of former Indian player Ravi Shastri as the  team director has helped the side.

"Yes, very relieved indeed. I kept practicing hard and kept believing in the process. I made a few minor changes in my technique. I opened up my shoulder a bit due to which the vision of the bowler and his arm improved a lot. It has also led me into playing straighter than before. I would like to thank the entire support staff and especially Ravi (Shastri) bhai, who has given us a lot of confidence since he has joined the team. A very big thanks to my family for standing by me," Dhawan said.

India defeated England in the fourth match on Tuesday to go 3-0 up in the ODI series and hence clinch it with one more match remaining.
